We fired up the motor this weekend and while idling, there was fuel dripping slowly out of the primary boosters. We shut it off and popped the site plug and fuel just poured out of it. We haven't adjusted the bowl level since last season so I don't think it's too high. Is this a bad needle valve?
I don't believe fuel pressure is an issue here. We're only running a 6-9 PSI pump.

You more than likely have a piece of trash stuck in the needle valve. Pull it out of the bowl and flush it out real well with carb cleaner then reinstall and reset the float level. You should be fine...
