carb swimming in gas

[cmanf]

My holley 1450 is pumping gas out of the breather tube on the front side just pumps it right out the tube. Any ideas?

Needle's probably stuck open.

Sounds like a stuck float. Sometimes you can tap on the side of the bowl and get it to function but it would still need to be taken apart and repaired/cleaned.

Is the carb doing the breast stroke, butterfly, or is it just treading gas?

Thanks guys.
Ill take a look in it tomorrow.
I have the paxton blow through carb setup.
I smelled gas bad took the cover off and about 3" deep pool of gas had it backfired could have been pretty bad.
