You're's and Others comments keep reminding me of things I left out in previous posts.
The breather has been off for all of the run tests we've done so far, and the choke has been open as well, so no issues with either of those yet.
I had the carb opened up previously and had the float set at about 1 and 7/8" from the body flange gasket. ( I mentioned this before) Yesterday I opened the carb up again and re-inspected it and compared where the float was now sitting, to a pic of it before I did any adjustment to it.
That's where I think I messed up, I should have left it where I originally had set (about 1 and 7/8") it a few days before. Instead, I looked at the picture and tried to get it set back closer to where it had been when i originally opened it to look inside.
I'll make that float adjustment back to about 2" and it shouldn't allow fuel to dump out the bottom of the carb.
Then I'll be ready to start the adjustments on the mixture screws as you all have described. I hope to get to that point tomorrow.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
