Sounds like it's time for a carburetor rebuild. The gasoline is leaking out of the float bowl. Do not replace it with an auto parts store rebuild!! Have the original carburetor rebuilt!! I learned that lesson the hard way with my 1970 Pontiac Catalina!! Hope that helps! Jim

Good advice! A shop to do this is still relatively easy to find in this world of fuel injection.
