I have this same problem with my Super C with a Carter and have absolutely no problem what so ever with my Marvel Schebler on my C. In fact on my C, I have yet to turn off the fuel for over 5 years!!! But if I leave the gas on with the Super C, it will start dripping within 10 minutes.

I have torn my carb apart about as many times ay it sounds like you have. Lowered the fuel level until it barley runs under load any longer and it still drips. What I am leaning towards not is the aluminum casting. I remember in the old days with Holley carbs on cars, they were sort of a yellow aluminum. If you polished off the yellow to make it look good, the gas would start weeping through the aluminum! I believe the same thing is going on here. I had the bowl sitting on the bench with gas in it while I was working on the carb one day and it started weeping through and creeping up the side wall and over the top of the casting. I believe one must seal the micro pores to keep the gas from weeping and creeping. So when I find a source for coating the carb, inside and out, I will try that and see if that helps. I will post the results when I get this done.
