The tab that pushes that pointy thing up? The thing that the float moves? I moved it a little bit , still leaked, maybe i need to move it more?

yea happens sometimes, and yes when the fuel level in the float bowl is full it rasies the float and seals off the fuel inlet so it doesn't over fill and puke fuel as its doing to you now

Bravedave420,
The 26mm carb floats are not set correctly at the factory. They are WAY OFF - not even close. You need to adjust your float level to 26mm 1+/-, with the bowl gasket removed.....I would set it @ 25mm hard... I have also noticed that these 26mm carbs are dirty and have had clogged main & pilot jets brand new right out of the box. The debris inside the carbs looks like Oreo cookie crumbs - go figure.
Here is a great post that explains exactly how to set your float properly. > How To Set Your MotorcycleCarburetor Float Level (more commentary).
If you want to send me your carb, I'll make the necessary adjustments it and ensure it's clean @ no charge. I can flip the carb in one day and have it back to you jiffy quick. You pay shipping both ways, probably ~$5 each way.
