Fuel kept running out of the carb down into the engine. Bronco ran really rough with lots of fumes. After putting a pressure gauge on it, I set the pressure to 4psi. Gas was still filling the carb and spilling into the engine.

So I pulled the carb (grrrrr) and decided to re-rebuild it. Probably overkill. It probably just needs cleaning or needles and seats replaced. But oh well. Might as well take it apart and be sure.

Check the float needle, it has a rubber tip that could be eroded and allowing fuel to keep flowing after the bowl is full.

I seen that, hope the rebuild fixes it
