I just replace the carburetor kit to my craftsman 6.25 HP. When I try to start the lawnmower I start to see all the gasoline going out trough the air filter. Even when the lawnmower was off, it still drain the gasoline tank. What I did wrong?

Sounds like the needle and/or float is set incorrectly or leaking such that it does not stop fuel from entering the bowl once it reaches the design operating level.

Bad needle valve or float. Seeing you just installed a kit I would say you did something wrong. Retrace your steps on the carburetor repair.
