hey new to this need some help, i have a 3.8L V6 231cid rwd 1986 cutlass supreme. having truble starting it. before wasnt able to run now it running then stalling out. so what i done is changed plugs/wires,fuel pump, sending unit. Inspected cap/rotor/coil and tested all fine. fuel lines have been changed from tanl to pump no clogs.changed vacuum lines too. i took off the carb and cleaned it and put new gaskets and put it back. I noticed that if u put fuel in the carb its leaking out(not sure of part name) where the accelarator cable is. i tried silcone gasket with the gaskets but still see the leak, so question is the crab worth rebuilting mine or get a new carb/rebuilt or new gaskets? i dont want a holly or n e thing like that i perfer my factory carb as i am going to be doing everyday driving.
 
Sounds to me like your float is stuck. I would grab a rebuild kit and just freshen it up. Dont use silcon on gaskets for a carb. When you rebuild a carb always soak the gaskets in wd40 that way they wont stick and tear up if you ever have to take it apart.
