You might have a leaking float needle valve. Your fuel shutoff might
not be holding securely, allowing excess fuel to leak into the bowl
just as you lower the bowl to check the amount in there. You would
have to be almost overflowing the bowl to be able to lower the bowl
from the carb, and have 1/8" of fuel below the top...the floats would
account for more volume than this. Something doesn't sound right here.

News: Australian Stimulus Package-Jabiru Engines On Sale
As the car ads say, "for a limited time only..." Jabiru's U.S. importers
have announced that the 2200 and 3300 engines are being offered at reduced
prices from now until April 15. Jabiru in Australia had ramped up production
and appears to have slightly over corrected, so to move some metal, prices
were dropped $2000 on the 120-hp 3300 (from $18,400 to $16,400) and $1000 on
the 85-hp 2200 ($13,900 to $12,900).
According to Jabiru Pacific's Jim McCormick, "We have engines on the way,
arriving in the U.S. by the end of June or early July."
The four- and six-cylinder air-cooled Jabiru engines are available through
Jabiru USA in Shelbyville, Tennessee, or Jabiru Pacific in Fresno,
California. Prices are the same from both sources.
