Ok, I'll bite-- float not adjusted properly when carb was rebuilt, needle not seating ; allowing bowl to overflow and fuel to "squirt out carb".

. . . Or if the float was old and not replaced, it may not be floating anymore.

why the new rebuild carb kit comes with slightly shorter needle and a clip.

FOR 1964 28HP 2CYL, model# 28402m, Thank you.

You may have got the wrong kit. As a fix, you may be able to bend the metal tab on the float to adjust for this. With a shorter needle, the float is likely too high in the bowl and the needle valve never closes. So the result is gas constantly coming out.

I really don't know this type of carburetor but usually the float is set so that it is parallel to the bowl when you hold the carburetor upside down. In this position, the needle valve should be closed. Test it by blowing into where the fuel hose attaches to the carburetor. Should not be able to blow any air in. Test it again by flipping the carb over and blowing again. Should be able to get air in. Possibly someone with knowledge of a 1964 carburetor can correct me.

screws not tight that hold the 2 halves. does it squirt out, or does it just run over? have you changed all fuel lines with alcohol resistant lines?
