Unhappy Carb problem today

at the race today i couldnt turn the throttle more that 1/4 of a turn without the bike stalling. at home i took the carb apart and took the air filter off and cleaned them.

when i put it back together gas comes dripping out the bottom of the carb at different places. it still happend after i checked all the bolts on the carb.

also the white turn valve thing that shuts the fuel on/off is now loose and wont turn properly because the washer in the inside was all warped.

anyone help me or know what i should do?

If gas is coming out of the carb then you've got something (dirt) stuck in the needle. You'll need to take the carb off again and clean it again.

Make sure when you're cleaning it that you use carb cleaner and not just gasoline (the carb cleaner will strip the gum off the carb that gas leaves behind).
