Troy Bilt Trimmer leaking gas thought carb

I have a Troy Bilt TB90BC that sat for awhile and the carb got gummed up. I bought a replacement carb, fuel filter and new fuel lines and installed them all.

At first I had the 2 fuel lines going into the carb backwards (return and intake).

Right now I can get the trimmer to run with the open choke and half way mark. If I try to close the choke it dies instantly.

Also is seems that the carb is leaking fuel out of the air intake. I saw some post that mentioned something about a "lever".

All I can think it that the issues is in the carb, and either I broke it when I had the fuel lines backwards, or it was a defective unit..

Thoughts?
