I NEED HELP WITH A CARB PROBLEM

Which carb? I would imagine it's an OEM replacement. There's really no way for raw fuel to get to the the throttle plate shaft without something else going on. Is it a significant amount? Sounds like a leaky gasket between the throttle body and main body, or some other leaky gasket. Try tightening all the screws and bolts the hold the actual carb together. Double check to make sure you know exactly were the fuel is coming from.

I had a similiar problem with a Dodge, I´d replaced the filter with a simple in and out and plugged the fuel return. Normal filter had in, out, return lines. The carb couldn´t handle the pressure, the fuel would leak around the float valve and flood some. Could be what´s happening with you.
