Default 96 club car getting to much gas to the carb

my cart is getting to much gas to the carb and it floods every time i try to start i also noticed that the fuel is spraying out of the carb shouldn't it be sucking it in?i have the fuel jet on the carb set all the way in but it still gets a ton of gas in the carb any suggestions?

Could be sticking float in the carb
Also check the intake box for obstructions

It's normal for fuel to spray out of the front of the carb without the air tube connected!
And yes... the air tube (and all of the intake) should be connected to the carb!

Kawi FE engines are very finicky about their fuel/air mixture,
and most of the time won't start (or run VERY badly) without the intake hooked up!

I'm curious about your "fuel jet" comment...
There are 2 jets... 1 is the main jet inside of the bowl, (#6) and the other is a low speed pilot jet on the outside of the carb body, (#13)
(I'm guessing that your talking about the pilot jet)

Click pic to enlarge:

The main jet (#6) should in, and tight,
The pilot jet (#13) should be 1 turn out!

Also check that the vent tube is clear. It's not numbered but it's just above the pilot jet (#13 in Lockman's diagram). If that vent tube gets clogged with dirt & debris it will use engine vacuum to draw gas from the float bowl - bypassing the float / needle & seat.

This is my guess based on the fact that the new one (carb) did the same as the old. The odds that both carbs were adjusted the same would be unusual. My guess it isn't the carb it is something else
