I only wish I would have learned that a little sooner, I can't remember how many quads I had rebuilt for friends that either had the problem and it got worse or had the proble new after the rebuild (possibly as in your case. Now I realized the carb soak cleaned out the fuel varnish and made the leak worse. Oh well we live and learn right?
