Unhappy tri power carbs

I have a 1966 442 tri-power with ram air. The car has been sitting several months. It starts right up but the rear carb leaks gas all over the place. Any sollutions?

Sounds like the float might be either bad or just stuck down for some reason. Where is it leaking from? That will give you a clue as to what to to next. I think whatever happens you should probably tear it down and rebuild it.

Default tri power

It appears to be pouring out of the bowl.

Sounds like tear down time.
