Pressure washer leaking gas from air filter
I have a simoniz pressure washer which is leaking gas from the air filter. I have already cleaned the carburetor, checked the float, cleaned the needle and even cleaned the need and the seat with a qtip soaked in carburetor cleaner. I even tested the float by holding it up and the fuel stops and when i let it go the fuel starts flowing. But once i assemble everything it starts to leak again. For life of me i can't figure out what is the problem. Carburetor is spotless clean including the needle and it is definitely not sticking. The float is also light and does not have any cracks or visible damage.

I guess something's interfering with the operation. Look for a dent in the bowl that might be rubbing on the float.

I have checked and re-checked many times and can't find any dent, debris, corrosion, leak, gunk, or any visual clues

I don't have any idea what carb you have on your item, however,
Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember that if the vent in the top of the carb is clogged it can create this condition. Have a good one. Geo
