Got a brand new carburetor and rebuilt fuel pump. Just happened all of a sudden. It was fine when I installed everything in the summer. Think it's pumping too much fuel? Maybe float height? Here's a vid. I think I entered it right. Not sure how to post videos.

As this has started suddenly, you more than likely have something stuck in the fuel shut off valve. Possibly a piece of rubber from a fuel line or some fibrous material. This will cause the fuel valve to not close completely and pour fuel out of the overflow tubes.

While you have it apart, check your float level and then clean the fuel shut off valve inside the carburetor. If you want it to work at it's peak, you can polish the inside bore of the fuel shut of valve. Put a Q tip in a drill and use aluminum wheel polish inside the bore of the valve. I just did this today to 2 of my Dellorto VW carbs!

Thanks rand. I checked out everything today. Adjusted the float just a tad. So far so good. Hopefully that was the fix.
