Lower the float. Make sure you have an O ring or cork gasket at the top of the throat under the top cover. No gasket at the lower end of the throat,top cover rim or cover to throttle plate.

The Scheblers were not very efficient, there's no venturi or idle circuit. At low speed it's basically running on the vapors of a puddle of gas in the throat, the air is not moving fast enough to vaporize the gas and pull it in. When stopped or between strokes of a slow running engine you'll see fuel dripping, if it's in a boat it'll be into a pan. If it's stictly a slow running show engine you could experiment by moulding a venturi with epoxy.
