Carb leakes A LOT of gas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Still trying to get the truck drivable. Upon startup, truck runs great for about 30 seconds. Then engine chokes and dies. At the same time, fuel begins to pour out of the rear of the carb. plenty of fuel pouring down onto the manifold. I don't get too close to the action at that point in order to get details, cause I don't want to be part of the charred remains. But if anyone knows how to resolve the problem ... Oh, I have a 6cyl engine and the simple Rodchester carb.

Thanks in advance!!
