Does carburetor accelerator pump squirt fuel into the carburetor venturi when you pull back on the accelerator rod/cable at the carb?
Rochesters have a fuel bowl float made of composite material that over time absorbs gas and rides lower in the fuel bowl when full failing to shut off the needle valve causing excessive fuel in the carb.

Best of luck and keep us posted...
