There is a hole in the bottom of the carb that must have a passage way into the intake manifold. Cut a chunk out of the base gasket if nessesary. If thats not it you need to tear down the carb & put a kit in it. Make sure the float does not have gas in it. Make sure the power valve piston is not stuck.
