dbx 2 stroke scooter wont start and spits gas out exhaust

i have a 43cc or 49cc dbx gas 2 stroke scooter.

i picked it p from craigslist for $25. the seller said it was not used and just sits there. so i figured hey its only $25.

poblem is when i tried to prime it using the primer bulb it would not suck any gas at all.

i then inspected gas lines from carb to inside gas tank, found a rip in the sending line and replaced it.

i put carb back on and tried priming it again. suprisingly it did prime but it would not start.

so i pull started it some more to try to start it and every time i yank on the pull starter i get a nice stream of gas spitting out of the exhaust end of the motor. the carb has no air filter on at the moment but gas is only going one way. out the exhaust and all over the floor. i mean a nice lil stream of gas.

any ideas what could cause this ? i never seen anything like this before and can find no answers on the net...
