Okay, now we have information we can understand. So after choking, gas comes out the FRONT of the carb. Like Frank said, that’s to be expected. If the engine is lean-spitting after it starts, gas will still kind of blow back out. Where do you have your high and low speed mixture adjustments pre-set? On my 15s and 18s, I usually start with both needles lightly seated, closed. Then I back out the top, low speed one about 1 1/2 turns and the bottom, high speed one, about 3/4 turn. This usually will result in a too rich, but easy-to-start, condition, that may run roughly but NOT sneeze back, and no gas to speak of, should come out.

Long live American manufacturing!
