    It could be that or your needle and seats are stuck open or you have too much fuel pressure
    . I'm shure there will be other ideas too

    I had this problem with one awhile back. Mine ended up being a bad float it had pin hole size hole in it took me forever to find it and made me use alot of colorful language in the process.

    Most likely there stuck or not adjusted properly but check to make sure there not taking on fuel as well.
