carb problems

[oldblue]

my truck hasnt been for about a month now due to rust repair. i went to start it to today and it pretty much started right up after dumping some gas down the carb. it runs fine but gas will start to overflow from the carb. i think the float is froze letting gas in since it was about 50 degrees when i parked it and it has been between 20 and 30 degrees since. i dont now if this is the problem, suggestions please

Put in a new needle and seat. That will fix your problem.

i failed to mention that i rebuilt the carb right before, im pretty sure i put a new one in

Adjust the needle down a bit or adjust the float what carb?

O yea I HATE those didn't do very well but u have to take the top of the bowl off and bend the float down a little bit, traditional holley's are so much more simplified but goodluck

i think it was just some ice in the carb, i started it up the other day a no gas was leaking. thanks for all the help though guys
