Great additions all! Now lemme add mine as I just went through this exact same problem last last week on my 300. Yer gonna haveta take yer carb off (again) to do this but...
Once the carb is off (I'm really good at this part having done it about a million times last week) check yer float for pinholes. Once you've done that, take out the main needle as well as the main metering tube (that long thingy sticking up out of the bowl and pointing down the carb bore. Put a drop or two of loctite on the threads of each of these items. Make sure you install the fiber washer with them as well. Let that loctite dry before putting the crab back together. This solved my problem completely as the gas was leaking past one or both of these threads. Also make sure your carb gasket is still in good shape after tinmkering with the carb so much. Mine had to be replaced (but I bought extras in anticipation of this problem). Good luck, you'll get 'er yet! -Z-
