'72 40Hp Evinrude floods itself

[MacBoater]

After sitting the boat will fire right up but immedietly starts pouring gas out the top port of the carb.

After it dies i try to start it again with no choke and it wont start and will spill even more gas.... Im a novice looking for tips, thanks!

Rebuild the carbs using new gaskets, needle and seat.
