The Ford Barn

I have dual carbs on my 53 Ford, it has a electric fuel pump. The rear carb is the primary, it has been leaking gas causing the engine to run very rough, I rebuild the carb with a new kit and it ran great for a couple miles then the carb overflowed and ran poor again. I blocked off the rear carb and used the front carb which doesnt seem to leak. Runs great drove it for 10 miles still seem to run rich, black carbon on the ends of the exhaust. The electric pump puts out 6 lbs of pressure.I think its lbs? The jets in the carb are 50s, are the jets to large, pressure to high. I live in Kansas Ciy. Thanks John
