<VV> Dripping carb at idle

[Stephen Upham]

My friend Chris from NTCA was right on the mark. I started the car  
and the left side, which was idling roughly yesterday, was working  
fine today!! The right side, which was working fine yesterday, was  
exhibiting the same characteristics as the the left one from  
yesterday. When I looked into the carb inlet, sure enough, the left  
was fine and the right was dripping gas. He suggested that if it  
exhibited this symptom that "... you have either too high a float,  
sunk float or needle and seat not sealing on the left carb."  What do  
I need to do to correct this problem and what parts should I order to  
be prepared for diving into it?  These are the carbs that I purchased  
from a well known Corvair carb repairman four years ago that sat for  
three of those years. They have run well for the last 3K miles, but  
now are experiencing the current problems. The problems seemed to  
have started after a hard braking incident. It ran rough, the next  
day it was back to normal. Now, after using the car on the weekends  
for a month or so, the problem has raised its ugly little head again.
