"Ok, so i got my fuel pump fin

"Ok, so i got my fuel pump finally and put it in today. the engine starts great then floods once you turn it off. even after the engine is turned off I can look into the carb and see drops of gas still flowing into it and thus flooding it...
Any ideas?

Also, a new situation has arose. when I was running the engine I shifted into forward and all was well, back to neutral still ok, then as soon as I put it in reverse the engine cuts off as if there is some sort safety switch or something being triggered. any idea what that could be?

I have the manual but im not sure even how to figure out which carb I have...
