Carb Problems

I just started driving my truck again recently, been parked for awhile do to $3.00 a gallon gas. Today truck would drive fine on short trips, but after I had been driving for about 30 minutes the truck started hesitating or bogging when I would take off from a stop. I had to feather the pedal to keep it from dying. Also i noticed that there is fuel dripping from the secondary throttle shaft on both sides. The carb is a Holley 670 Street Avenger.

Sorry for long post. I havent been on in awhile been working and going to school. Hope eveybodies doing good and thanks in advance for any input.

Almost forgot truck only does this when fully warmed up (180 Degrees) and is also bout 100 Degrees here in Fort Worth, Tx. Was thinkin that fuel may be boiling.

Forgot one other thing. Engine is a .040 390, Comp 268H Cam, Mildly port D2TE Heads, Headers, Holley 670 and about 9.2:1 compression if any of this helps.

Still running on the old gas? If so that is probably it.

Could be a plugged filter or a weak fuel pump too.
