I recently noticed a gasoline drip from the air horn of the upper carb on my 120 hp Force. Seems like it is only there at idle speed. My carb was recently cleaned. I even tried the carb from my other engine. No change!! I had to readjust my idle speed mid way through summer since the engine was idling too fast to go in gear properly. Carbs are syncronized and the idle mix adjustment is approximately the same on upper and lower carbs. Has anyone else experienced this problem?? I suspect reed valves but I would like some input before i start to take the reeds out for a look!!

Do that after a compression test.
Then compare the reeds.J
