As Derek says, check the points gap. The gas on the plugs and the carb overflowing says that the needle and seat is not working and thus not controlling the fuel level in the float bowl. I would also just open the carb float bowl and check the needle and seat at the same time - it is easy enough. It could also be your float that has sprung a leak and is full of fuel and is now "sinking and not floating".
Good luck.
