Yuh need to overhaul that carb for sure. The jets probably clogged open and allowing excessive gas to come into the carb.

Where you from???

carbs flood cause the float sink or check valve not working properly(worn or sticking)

can be fixed but these pieces might be hard to find and might also cost a pretty penny

your carb look like this

then rebuild show be very straight forward, the kit should be cheap and available by most parts places. the problem sounds more like float adjustment and set up.

if it looks like this

Yes partner, its a long time I haven't played around with a carburetor but the following can be noted from my experience.
1. Check the float to see if it has a hole. If this is so then replace it.
2. If 1 is not true then check the float adjustment. With the float up (not touching the top cover) the check valve should cut off the supply of gas (verifying the operation of the check-valve as well). You can check this by blowing from the gas inlet while raising float. Adjust float as necessary. The float works just like a tank float. I believe that the carburetor kit has a check valve.

Carburetor kits are available so the pump and main gasket can be changed. I don't think it is necessary to take out the entire carb just the top piece since it is a flooding problem.

The cab is probably continuiously over flooding but you may not see the effect white driving hard because the gas would be burning off.However you can make the following checks when you have switched off the engine.
1.After switching off take a peep down the cab throat and observe if gas is still trickling .( you may have to open the trottle )
2.You can also disconnect the supply line to the pump ( mechanical ) or cab and check for flow. The car should be parked at an incline with the back lower than front.
Now if in any of the above checks gas is flowing then your gas tank is being pressurised. There supposed to be a return line on the pump to prevent this from happening. You must still check the float and check valve as the other guys mentioned in their response.

[prutoonkman]

Dave you remind me of the brand. You are right although I think it is Keyster if my memory serves me right but what the hell, as long as he gets it and he is happy then I am happy too.
