carb  float sticking is likely.. the only way the carb can overflow is with excess gas pouring in

squeeze the bulb and if you can’t get it to harden up the inlet needle/float is not doing it’s job     just like a leaky toilet bowl float

did you conver to pump or still using  air pressure tank ??

“pull open the choke” ===> means choking               did you mean  “push in the choke”    to  stop the choking    or   did I read you wrong ??

new does not mean works ok ….  if you pump the push button on the tank  will the carb fill and stop the in flow of fuel … yes no ??

did you blow  test the carb after assembly ??

or does it  keep flooding as you prime the push button

fat donut installed at the bottom of the carb ?   float level with carb body when upside down ??

close the HS needle  shut  see if it will idle on the LS  circuit only and not flood .

if ok  on idle    open HS  needle slowly …..  throttle in the  idle- start position  it should not flood

at the onset the pressure tank is NOT pressurized  so just the carb and carb bowl have fuel in it .  odd the  recoil starter would impact enough pressure to have the fuel come up the HS nozzle  because any pressure would just  end up in the tank.

close both needles and see if flooding still occurs  after a brief choking ….

if it still floods  ckeck for any missing  lead plugs in certain  carb passages

recheck  needle packings

what does   gas comes out of  ” back “of carb    mean exactly ???
