Re: why is my gas going so fast!!!!
Choke may be stuck closed. May be an internal leak in carburetor, dripping into intake manifold. Fuel level in float bowl may need to be adjusted. Float valve may not be seating, causing overflow into intake runners.

Re: why is my gas going so fast!!!!
would all those problems be fixed with a carb rebuild? and are you familiar with the 22r engine are these good engines ? mine has a slight tick to it that ive heard is common ...any truth to that?

Re: why is my gas going so fast!!!!
A carb rebuild would solve everything except a stuck choke, which may well be a problem with mechanism for closing/opening the choke. There are many potential ways of causing a choke to stick, but they are all pretty easy to fix. They are just cleaning procedures.
A tick is nothing to worry about. It is probably just a lifter needs adjusting.

Torque it correctly and put antiseize compound on the threads.
