Sounds like the carb is getting heat soaked causing the dripping after shutdown. The problem with all aftermarket carbs is that off the shelf they have generic specs instead of being setup to OEM, specs like a factory carb. The OEM, spent 1,000s of hours on R&D to achieve the correct specs for each engine application. It is why Qjets are not universal carbs, they are setup to match the engine they were intended for. Aftermarket carbs are just set up to whatever specs, and it is up to the owner to try out different adjustments to achieve a good tune. The stock Eddy float adjustment is probably not the height the engine needs and you have to try different heights to achieve the optimum adjustment. Other thing is aftermarket carbs are designed to be gas dumpers first with little regard for driveability, or efficiency.
