So I decided to overhaul the carb on my 1987 Ram 50 because it was dumping gas and flooding the engine. But now, after the overhaul, its doing the same thing. It literally leaves a puddle of gas in the manifold after just a few seconds of cranking. All gaskets, seals, o-rings and needle/seat are new. I verified the needle is definitely closing and sealing. Staring down the carb while someone cranks i can see the gas seems to be coming from inside the primary venturi.

Both the main jets are stock and the passages are clear. What else could cause gas dumping out of the venturi? The carb is a Mikuni Solex 30-32 on a 2.0l with a manual trans. Anything else I should try before giving up and switching to a Weber?
