It's running like crap it's has fuel running out off top of inside carb. I put a carb kit in and it's doing the same thing

Did you set the float correctly? They can be a pain to set some trial and error can be involved. Keep lowering it until the fuel stops coming out.
Did you buy the carb kit that had the fuel pump and primer assembly. The primer can sometimes cause that to happen if it's old and cracked. Or the check ball has pushed into the spring.

It says to turn bowl upside down and should stick out 1/32 from the bowl. hard to measure with a tape measure
