There is either dirt of some kind on needle and seat, or the adjustment is way off, you have a bad-sinking float, or you have too much fuel pressure. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) One of my holley red pumps had cosmoline type crud stuck in regulator out of the box and caused flooding many moons ago.

Fuel pump can be putting too much pressure to the needle/seat and causing fuel to flood the engine. Safe fuel pressure is 5-6 PSI... It is also possible the carb has always been bad, missing a gasket, or fuel level wrong from the factory... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)
