Carb problem

Kinda not for me Since I am TPI, But friend down street has a

350 with Edelbrock Carb - Ran fine all week and even today in AM- he went to start to leave work and it ran for second and he lost it- stalled out- meaning the Carb is a Manual choke.
So he said he choke the car to start...

Either way he thought it flooded and would turn over- he asked me to take him up to get the car- When we got there everything seemed fine but when he went to start it I notice the Carb was leaking gas out of linkage-


I was like wow dude- might not want to start it

It seems now battery is dead and its not starting-

Either way I figure I get on here and see if any one had any ideals on this - personaly I fig if you flood it out (which i have on a carb set up- pull off air filter and let it air out and your good)

But when I looked in the carb tonight - i could see a good puddle in the secondarys...

seems like alot of gas for his discription of a couple pumps.
maybe it was a couple more then a couple tryin to get car to start.

Could he blow out the gas and try-?

Why would carb leak?
Float stuck?

Any thoughts be great

thanks in advance
