Default Frustrated!

Well, I got my gasser all ready to try out for the first time. It keeps flooding and I cant get it started. After I attempt to start wether I prime or not it wants to suck all the gas out of the tank. I think I have all the lines on right. The only thing is the gas tank is not the original one for the motor. It is a poulan 33cc. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like the needle valve is stuck open or the diaphram is bad
or its got goo balls in it "varnish in it " or dirt
If its a normal 2 line carb , the main fuel line has the clunk on it
in the tank & goes to the big brass tube if not , its goes on the the oppsite
side of the mixture needles on most models of carbs
The other line is the prime side or return line as i call it , that goes back to the tank
Hope this helps

Here are some pics of my setup.First pic is on the side of mixture screws. that line I have as my prime bulb and goes to the tank as the pressure line. The third pic is opposite side of carb and is the fuel pick up line. The last pic is of my prop hub that I made myself.

On the second pic..... Do I see two butterflys?
It almost looks like a two barrel carb.

Yes it is. The bottom has the fast idle and choke. The top is just throttle.
