The one that's leaking more is actually a brand new float. I think they're brass. The one one the right hand side of the bike just had a hold plugged earlier this year. That side leaks very little now, but it leaked like crazy before the hole got filled. When I take the carbs off and blow air into the fuel line, the float valve is perfecly tight if I turn the carb upside down. Thanks for your advice.

Check by shaking or melting a drain hole (if so equiped) that should be filled with solder. I feel that this may be the real problem or wrap the float in tissue and see if it absorbs any gas.
