Rochester Carb Problems..

So my engine rings great and the Carburetor is rebuilt. Hasn’t even been a year on the carburetor and today the Rochester started dumping gas from the outside of the throttle body valve. And I thing gas was leaking from the carb base insulator. I looked down the barrel of the carb with a flashlight and I could see a lot of gas in there, so it was getting flooded too. I had the problem before but I ended up getting a rebuilt carb from a known carburetor shop near by.

This is pretty frustrating since I drive my truck a lot and take it to shows and it left me and my wife stranded this morning until I was able to get it going enough to get home.

I was looking into a Webber before in the past but I was told I need to make a linkage set up..
I’ve heard the Carter YF carbs are more reliable but where do I find one?
