In my opinion the carb is flooding,dripping gas into the intake,needle and seat not holding gas back.Make sure gas is shutoff at the tank when car is sitting,if it starts easier then you will know it is probably flooding the manifold when just sitting.I would also make sure the float does not have a leak and have gas inside of it.You have a dangerous situation,hope you carry a fire extinguisher!
