I had Rick Pacholski rebuild the carb on my CJ2A in 2015. After setting this winter I started it up and ran it a little bit. Next time I started it gas pours, gushes, out of the the housing where the accelerator link goes. I tried blowing in to the inlet line with air hose but didn't help any. Any thoughts on the problem. I looked for emails I traded with Rick but couldn't do any good that way. 
Thanks for any ideas.

Sounds like your float is stuck in the down position.  Take the top off the carb and see if the float is full of gas. 
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable
