Default RE: 91ac considerations.....

OK more questions. I've started to try and run the engine and have had some dificulties.


1) At first it would not draw fuel from the tank. The tank was under pressure, verified by removing the fuel line and getting doused with fuel. I noted no leaks and the tank was still under pressure after 30 min of setting idle.
I messed with the settings and primed the system by adding fuel to the line from the pump to the carb. It eventually started drawing fuel.
I reset the high and low needles 1 1/2 turns from closed and set the regulator flush with the housing.
2) Now fuel drips from the carb at a steady rate with the throttle closed. When I advance the throttle the fuel pours out then drops to a steady trickle.

I have managed to run the engine only to throw the prop twice. This time my propnuts whent flying and I can't find them.
I contribute the propthrowing to being to rich.

What would be causing the engine to leak so much fuel from the carb???
