Stromberg BXV026 carb

Here is my saga.

My '40 110 had a Holden carb on it when I bought it (Australia GM).

I bought the correct carb on ebay (and later a kit for it). Someone rebulit it for me. It seemed to work great for an hour. Then I noticed some gas so I tightened everything. Then it started pouring out of the bottom portion of the carb (the nut on the other side of the throttle assembly). I didn't figure it was actually leaking there so I assumed the float. Bent the float down quite a bit and it was even worse when I got it back on.

Any help?
