Flooding carb on 84 spree

Post by nabes »

I got the spree started but now I'm getting a ton of gas leaking out of the carb while it's running. I took the bowl apart and everything seems like it's working correctly. I blow on the gas inlet and move the float and it seems to stop me blowing thru it. Is there supposed to be a rubber stop down inside the carb where the float stopper stops the gas. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

This may seem like a silly question, but did you make sure the drain screw is closed and that it seals?
