I came back from a cruise in and after the car sat for awhile I smelled gas. I took the air cleaner off and the primary throttle plates were wet from gas. As I looked to see were it was comming from I see gas just come out of the squirter. It's not alot just like if you just hit the pump arm very lightly. It did this a few times and stopped. What would cause this. It doesn't fill the carb it just gets it a little wet with gas. This has got me stumped. The pump arm is adjusted correctly. This is a Holley carb.

gas is probably boiling in the bowl and the accelerator pump is the easiest pressure relief. if you have a an electric pump, try turning it off a few seconds before you shut down the motor to lower the amount in the bowls.
