Carburetor leaking

I just adjusted the height on the needle. Is this causing it to pour gas?

Yep. Make sure the seam on your floats are parallel with your gasket surface of the bowl. Sounds like you got your tang wrong.

Make sure your gaskets are good on the carb. I had a torn bowl gasket on my cr125 and it poured gas. Also make sure the float isn't stuck. If you haven't solved the issue already.

Where is the gas coming from?

If it's coming from the tube on the bottom of the float bowl you either A) Have the float adjusted wrong and have to much fuel in the float bowl, or Cool Your float needle is sticking.

Which needle did you adjust? The needle on the slide or the needle seat valve in the bowl?
