359 flooding

[Mkinslow]

I'm working on a 359 with flooding issues,saw is pouring fuel through carb while sitting on its clutch side soaking the airfilter and flooding the saw as well,I've rebuild the carb and no changes. Even If I clear all fuel out saw floods so fast it doesn't have a chance to start. Yes it's the walbro carb that's been reported as a problem a lot, should I replace whole carb or is there a solution to this problem, thanks guys

Have you checked pop off pressure?

No sir I haven't, but I did just swap the carb of my 2159 on to it and it runs like a champ, it's the same model carb as what's on the 359 (walbro 199)

Sounds like the inlet needle is leaking. Fought an SDC walbro on the same description.
