Too cold to start car

So I picked up a quick fuel 750 with an electric choke and vacuum secondaries. Starts up way easier and idles at a more consistent rpm. However, the damn thing leaks gas from just about every part on it! Like I've said, I'm not expert but I've disassembled and reassembled my holley carb before without leaks, so I'm not a complete idiot on how to simply install one. But either I've overlooked something simple or I've bought a poorly built carb that needs returned. It looks like gas leaks from around the float bowl cover, and it's not just a little drip. In less than a minute I'll have a large pool of gas collected in the crevasses of my intake.
Don't run it. You'll light it on fire.
