460 carb gas fountain

I just attempted to rebuild carb on my 1985 F250 4x4. It has a carbureted 460. I thought I put it back together right but I think I missed something.It now shoots fuel out of the tube in the top of the front bowl. Maybe the floats? Please help novice carb builder good chance I did something wrong. Thanks, justin.

Float level most likely, assuming you didn't forget to put in the needles or anything...
