CVK32's are KNOWN for running gas out of the overflows. They're not bad carbs except for that problem. Unfortunately, the float needle seats are NOT replaceable so if it's damaged in any way, you're stuck buying a new carburetor.

Try Braaptor's trick: http://www.blasterforum.com/do-yourself-20/easy-almost-free-way-stop-leaky-carbs-33335/

Also, buy a carburetor rebuild kit. A "shindy" or similar off Ebay is fine... The float needle will have a small "ring" indented into the rubber and that tiny ring will cause the needle to stick and not seal.

well i acualy think it is replaceable because the needleseat looks just like the blasters
