Where is it dribbling from ? If it's coming from the base then it may just be that the 4 screws which hold the base on have loosened . If it's flooding then, since you have replaced the needle valve, it may be that the jet rubber diaphragm is punctured. These gradually harden over the years and eventually tear . Replacement jet and diaphragm are easily obtainable from Burlen Fuel Supplies. Another possibility is punctured float
