Question stuck float

when i start my truck (79 150 351m) it jumps right up to high rpms
and i cant get it to slow down. and also there is a little gas leaking around
the rubber hose even with the little clamp on it.

could this be a stuck float???

Maybe the fast idle associated with the choke is stuck. Maybe the dashpot is out of position. Fix the gas line.
