A few weeks ago the carb on my 235 suddenly started poring out fuel. A bit scary as it was dumping right onto the hot manifold and steaming.

It was a cheap China aftermarket so I figured the float was stuck open.

I swapped it out with a spare carb I had sitting around from a 235 my brother had recently purchased. I didn't rebuild it but it looked to be in very good shape and was an original supposed recently rebuilt.

So it started poring fuel all over the place too.

Can it be that I have a bad fuel pump that put too much fuel into the carb?

Any other thoughts?
