I have a bendix carb that is pouring fuel out of the nozzle at idle. The valves have been adjusted. Any way to lean these things out

Sounds like you need to adjust your float.

Its at 3/16" inch thats what the book calls for

I'd put float at 1/4" and make sure its seating properly. Bendix carbs are bad for overflowing, adjusting float slightly lower than book calls for helps.

Your float valve may be bad, or you may have something hung in the orifice. I would pull the bowl, turn the gas on, and watch the flow, then lift the float, and see if it shuts off. If not, you need a cleaning or a float valve. With good parts, the factory setting on the float, should be good enough to stop the leaking.

Remove the float needle and examine the tip with a magnifier, some of them are coated with Viton, I had one that the ethanol swelled, if the needle is indented this can also cause the issue
do not set the float to 1/4" you can starve the motor, 3/16" as stated is correct

Thanks for all the help guys

Check the condition of the o-ring on the main jet. My bendix was doing the same thing...checked/adjusted float, removed/replaced valve, still just poured fuel in at idle. Then noticed a tiny crack in the o-ring on the jet, replaced that...problem solved.
