*sigh* Yet another Q-Jet problem...

I'm starting to seriously hate this car....

Engine's back in, cam's broken in. I drove it to the shop, had the exhaust put in, and now it won't start. Fuel is leaking where the choke linkage goes from the outside of the carb, to the inside (I don't remember what the part name is). The float is adjusted correctly, the accelerator pump check ball is in, everything is where it's supposed to be.
When I rebuilt it, I soaked it for a couple hours, and used compressed air to blow it out and off. It started up the first time I ran it, and every time since then. But now, the passenger's side passage from the accelerator pump is barely dribbling fuel, and it's backing up and leaking. The driver's side has a nice, healthy stream.

So...what are my options?

BTW, the shop didn't touch the carb.
