Carb rebuilt leaking

Just had my holley rebuilt, put her on..started her up and there's some gas leaking out of this part. Any ideas what's going on? There was also some smoke out of the carb when she stalled.

The float level is set too high and/or the needle & seat is sticking open.

Re: Carb rebuilt leaking

Check fuel pressure as well, if you are above 8 or 9 PSI it could cause problems that way.
