   This would lead me to believe it's a float issue.How does it run?If there is junk in the bowl,the needle & seat could hang open causing fuel to enter the engine unmetered,resulting in black exhaust smoke & rich smell,and could overflow onto the manifold as well.May as well check that also while you're checking all the stuff the other guys mentioned.

also check the bolts that hold the primary and secondary fuel bowls and the mounting bolts to the carb and intake, basicly 14 pls to check. 4 mount, 4 primary, 4 secondary, 2 on the fuel line, the 1" and 5/8"

I'm no mechanic, but the first thing I would check is to ensure that the fuel tubing going into the carb is tight. I've had this problem on two boats where the nut on the fuel tube backed off and was leaking onto the manifold. BKH
