Carb leaking gas Toro 7/24

Hello I hope one of the experts can help me. We have a Toro snowblower 7/24 Model 38050 that we bought new back in 1981 I believe. It has been a work horse all these years and almost problem free until now. It leaks gas from the carb BUT I can stop the leak by using the shut off valve.
I did the following: I replaced the inlet needle - seat- clip and clip, float and also a new gasket around the bowl. Well it still LEAKS gas.
I gave up on it for now and just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I installed the new seat in wrong? I made sure it went up all the way is that right? I cannot see anything else that would cause this problem unless I have the wrong parts in??? I used a kit 631920 for the inlet assmb'ly. Anytthoughts would be most helpful, I still can use it but will have to use the shutoff after I finish each time.

Ray - did you set the float level & if so, what measurement did you use? The "seat" should be installed with the smooth side going up into the carb body, and the "rings" on the other side of the seat should be visible if you look up where it sits in the seat cavity. Marty

I just get concerned about snapping the bolt or bolts as it is 25 years with not being taken off. But will give it a try when it get warmer.
I lost my original manual for this toro 7/26, Model 38050, I see that some of you have the manual? Any way if I pay for a copy would someone be kind enough to make me a copy?? It would help so much, I have all my other ones but a few years back I think it was moved in the garage and I have been searching ever since.
