 Stock Stromberg 175 cd2. The carbs appear to be in good order. was told they were recently rebuilt. The car ran well when i drove it home. It was smelling of gas in the garage. The carb nearest the bulkhead/firewall has fuel running out of the air intake side. I believe it is coming from a vent hole (brass fitting hole at 10 o'clock)

Fuel starts coming out as soon as the fuel pump is powered. I looked through shop manuals and internet. Does the carb need rebuilt again. This vent, vents fuel (right onto the starter) when something is blocked?

Also, I am not sure if the throttle return springs? are right and proper (the long spring that is hooked on the air intake). There are 2 long springs on the throttle shaft..they don't look right? What spring should be there and how are they connected?

Not sure if the picture is uploading?
