More than likely, your float levels are too high. Is it a Holley? LMK, I'll walk you through setting them.

Thanks a ton John. Yea it's a stock Holley 4180 I belive also would you know how they could become misadjusted? The carb. worked fine when I uninstalled it, could this possibly happen by moving it from place to place?
