If fuel is visiably dumping out the boosters at idle, remove bowl screw and see where fuel level is, should just dribble out of the hole. Do this check with the fuel pump running. Has the carb been rebuilt or anything lately? A wrong metering block gasket can definately do this. So can a blown power valve. Blast the air bleeds with a squirt of carb cleaner. (air bleeds for idle circuit are next to where the boosters meets the main carb body, the two tiny holes on the outside of the pair, right on the top surface)

In a fit of 16 year old genius, I looked down through the carb while cranking it to see if fuel was flowing, and it was. Flowing straight up in a vapor cloud, around my head, on fire.
