You didn't get the fuel lines reversed on the primer bulb did you. If you reverse them it can cause the symptom that you describe. They need to be set up to pull gas through the carb, into the primer, and then back to the fuel tank. If you push fuel into the carb with the primer it will cause overflow of the carb, leading to an internal fuel leak in the carb.
