She lives! (Kinda)

Alright folks. Here’s a question for you. I just installed the new carb today and it seems to run perfectly with OUT having fuel constantly pushed into it. With the fuel line from the tank disconnected from the inlet on the float bowl, it works flawlessly. But, as soon as I connect the fuel line back to it, it dies. Obviously, the carb is flooding and isn’t able to get rid of the fuel in the bowl fast enough to compensate for the amount of fuel going into the bowl. Any suggestions as to how I can limit the fuel intake that DOESN’T involve touching the carb? An adjustable hose clamp on the fuel line maybe?
