Is your fuel tank level higher than that of the carb? Gravity is ever present as well as Murphy.

The engine's carb isnt the problem. First off never add fuel while the line to the carb is connected. use this carb line to fill the tank and disconnect the vent line for if you overfill. If you fill it in through the vent line, it forces the air/fuel that is in the tank out the carb line. While your filling it needs a vent, and the way your filling, it is using your carb as a vent and sice your fuel pickup line is at the bottom of your tank, it is the fule that is being pushed out of the line into your carb. Your engine and carb is fine

Fill it in through the carb line and see what happens, I think this will do the trick. B) McCoy MC9's are a safe bet, also K&B Hp's
