Here's the deal. The only way gas can be leaking out the carb is because of a float problem. Only six things can create the problem.
It might be possible that the mainjet or mainjet 'O' ring was left out and that might cause the problem. I have never seen this before but I just want to cover all, ( even remote ), possibilities.
You paid for the rebuild so I would take the carb back to the rebuilder. You might want to call a Honda dealer's parts department and ask if the parts diagram for the carb shows a float needle retainer clip. Also ask the cost of a " carb kit " Now. if the rebuilder says there is no clip on that carb, you can argue the point.
I wish I could be there with you. Get your money back for the "rebuild" ( less the cost of the carb kit ), and have the dealership fix it. I really want to know what you find out on this problem. Please post a comment on the results.
Please rate this answer after the problem is found. Thanks Chris.
