The needle valve in the fuel bowl wasn't shutting the gas off, causing it to overflow out the port and also into the intake port. Couldn't adjust/fix it, so bought another carb on Amazon. I'm hoping I'm not just buying more junk, although I'm very suspicious.
I also had to fix my log slitter today. It was running like crap stalling every few seconds. Dropped the bowl and cleaned the carb 3 or 4 times. I think it must have had water in the gas. By the last few logs it finally cleared up.

Iv been working on this clock the last few days. The shroud needed alot of welding between flipping the logo and filling all the holes but it came out nice
