65 carburetor leak

I noticed I have a leak in my carburetor after I move the throttle. I assume either the float is bad or i need to rebuilt the carburetor entirely? I attached a video below. I haven't done this before so was wanting to get some opinions on proper path forward. Engine is a 352 V8.

Thanks for the help.

Your accelerator pump diaphragm is shot. You can purchase a new one but probably better to just get a kit and rebuild the carb..

X2. It’s not a difficult job. The kits come with an exploded diagram.

thanks for recommendation. The only markings are below in the picture. The numbers I see are 5752307 and 940. Does this ring a bell for anyone on which carb this is? Im not finding anything clear when I search the internet.

I don’t know what the numbers are, but it looks like a Autolite or Motorcraft 2 bbl.

Just an Autolite 2V as stated. There should be a tag attached to one of the screws that hold the top on if someone in the past didn't remove it. Those carbs were used on many vehicles and usually one kit fits all of them. It's one of the simplest carbs to rebuild.

thanks for y’all’s feed back. Someone did remove tag!

I’ll get me a rebuild kit for a autolite. Thank you for help.

I would go on line and talk to Mike’s Carburetor https://www.carburetor-parts.com/crm...tion=contactus they will show you how to find the numbers for your carb.
