and to help further my understaning of the float, i thought it just metered the fuel into the bowl, not into the intake? so im lost at why fuel is pouring into my intake? it's coming out of the venturi like its supposed to but its just pouring...i thought if it overflowed it came out somewhere els??

sounds like it is letting too much fuel into the bowl and it is pouring out the overflows into the carb throat.
i bit the bullet and got a webber. not a problem in 2 years. worth the $
