Default Help with carburetor

Hello,

I have a problem with my carburetor. I have a 2002 Softail, and I cleaned the carburetor and changed the gaskets. I put everything back and noticed that gasoline was coming out of the needle tube when the bike is started without accelerating. Do you know where the problem comes from?

Sorry for my bad English, but I'm French.

Thank you for your help


Massimo
