How do you know this? What are the symptoms? All that fuel has to go down inside the engine, or outside the engine.

Did you check on the bottom of the bowl, there are four screws there that hold on, what I call the pumper (not a technical kind of guy). I had a Holley on a 302 once and was loseing fuel from there due to a loose screw, which then destroyed the gasket there. I just pulled it off and bought a rebuild kit and used the gasket and saved the rest for later. As a matter of fact I still have the rest of it, dont have the carb anymore though. mmmm Let me know if any of that helps you out.
If it is from there you should see some wetness in that area, if its bad a drip of fuel as well. Fixing that will help gas mileage as well.
