Toro 3000 GTS Suzuki engine fuel leak?

I have a Toro 3000 GTS with the Suzuki 5 hp two stroke, model # 38435, bought in 1997. It has been a good machine, but I have noticed that the bowl on the bottom of the carb is often wet with fuel. I replaced the gasket on the bowl and the bolt, but I noticed that when you prime it is when it leaks. If you start it without priming it will not leak. Apparently some fuel overflows the carb and runs out the air intake. What needs to be done to stop this leak? Carb rebuild necessary? Thanks for any information anyone can provide.

Thanks for the reply, I will get the rebuild kit and clean it out. I noticed that when I had the machine tipped up to check it, when I primed it gas shot out of an opening in the side of the carb, is that the vent?
