so here's the situation. I cleaned out the carbs today and reinstalled them. the engine hasnt been run for about 4 months and it would start. so i reinstalled the two carbs (one on top, one right below-connected by fuel line) and tried turning the engine on (electric start). It turned on for like 15 seconds, and right as I was getting excited, it started squirting gas out of a hole in the top carb. it was squirting alot. ok, so note about these carbs-when i was cleaning them out i unscrewed this needle at the top of the carb that you can see as soon as the air intake was taken off. these needles had springs on them and lost one spring. i went to the hardware store and bought the closest looking spring i could find. The gas just happens to be spraying out of that one with the slightly different spring, but I dont know if thats actually the problem. It wont start now, just attempts at turning over. Please Help!!! thanks alot. oh and the engine is a 74 chrysler
