If it's like most carbs, the vent is on the float chamber.
Either your float is full of fuel and no longer holding the needle in the seat, or there is a bit of crud under the needle holding it open.
I suspect the latter.
You probably should clean your tank and lines when you open the carb.

Ellery, In addition to checking the floats and needle valve, check to see that all passages from the float chamber to the carb throat are clear. Did the engine sit for awhile? The crud in present day fuel makes a compound that can seal those small, drilled passages like you'd poured epoxy into them.

Thanks Guys yes it did sit for a while but the problem was some meat head used silicone to hold the gasket up in side the carb base and he used it generously and it squeezed out inside the carb and that was what I found in the seat so I checked other carb and found the same I cleaned both carbs and now there is no problem, now to have an annual done and get her in the wind
