Slight fuel leak when stored

My Hawk appears to drip fuel slightly when it’s parked for a few days. I’ve already checked the drain screw on the carb. Any ideas?

If it's not a tank or petcock leak the likely culprit is the float needle/seat. Better check to see if your oil smells like fuel while you're at it.

At least make a habit to turn fuel off
