Old carbs like that tend to get stuck floats and after time develop cracks which create leaks. Had this issue with mine. You can get a re-build kit at Napa for like $300 or $400 bucks(I THINK). I'll try and get you some pictures of the linkage I have. If you are interested in converting to a bigger better carb then I can help with that to. You can see info on my 292 in my build thread. T.J. Also....is your air/fuel mixture adjusted right?

I think T.J. meant that the new carb would be $300 or $400.....and the rebuild kit will be about $20 to $25 bucks.
