With only the info provided, it would seem that you have a stuck needle and seat situation in that carb. Maybe a great time to do a complete overhaul and replace the needle and seat AND the gaskets as well. When a needle won't close (for any reason) the carb will allow the full pressure of the fuel pump to pump gas at will and it has to go somewhere...

Your gonna have trouble with the "new " parts.
Most times they don't fit.
Clean the carb and post pics of the inside?
Don't use any "carb cleaners" they can affect the rubber in the seat.
I use Dawn soap and water. Then compressed air to dry.
No WD or any silicone sprays.They just gum it up.
If the parts on the inside are that bad?
Valley Sales in Prudenville,Mi. will probably have the parts.Call him, he doesn't answer e-mails very well.
The air screw start at 1 turn out and adjust from there.
