How can I stop fuel from leaking into the CARB?
You will most likely need to remove the carb, take the bowl off and clean the float valve needle. All it takes is a tiny grain of sand stuck on the rubber tip of the needle to hold it open enough that it will not stop the fuel from flowing into the carb. Once the bowl is full, it has nowhere to go except out of the overflow.
