    Sounds to me like your needle & seat is shot, or you've got too much fuel pressure - should be in the 5psig range, not much more.

    That would be the accelerator pump--if fuel is coming out around the shaft where it goes through the top then either the accelerator pump is shot, or the things Roger mentioned.
