Check the float valve to make sure it is sealing. There may be dirt in it. You 
can check it by turning the carb upside down. The weight of the float in that 
position should be enough to seal off the valve so you can no longer blow thru 
it.

Check to make sure the main jet in the bottom of the bowl hasn't unscrewed.
