Default The answer

Found the answer after breaking down the carby. The float had a tiny hairline crack in it only just visible to the eye. Fuel however is a good penetrant and it was filling the float half up with fuel, thereby overfilling the carby, flooding the engine and causing the leak when the motor was shut down. My fuel burn should now return to 8 mpg instead of 4 mpg!
