After rebuilding my Stromberg 2BBL ID# 3-259 it is dry while the motor is running. After turning it off, it leaks/drips out of the throttle shaft connection. I attached a pressure gauge after the fuel filter before carb connection and am getting 6 1/2 psi while at idle. Is this psi too high? Is there a solution here. Is it just a 53 yr old worn out carb?

During the rebuild,was the throttle shaft bushings replaced?? if not they will leak gas when worn out. Your fuel pressure is normal and not the problem,
