carb problems

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Ok heres the deal. I just rebuilt my holley 1850's on my tunnel ram due to water being in my gas tanks. I went through both of them and cleaned them up. I put them on my olds and fired her up. Next thing I saw larg amounts of gas pouring out of the top. What would cause this. i think I assembled them right:eek: its been a while since i went through a carb. i know someone has an explanation for this situation. help a brotha out.

your float leavel is too high letting fuel continuously into the float bowl and then coming out the vent in the carb
