Gas mist spewing from carb?

I have an older model Poulan 2300 AV 16" chainsaw. When it is running a mist of gas spews from the top of carb. The faster I run it the more fuel spews from the carb. I have cleaned the carb and it still does it. Can you please tell me what is wrong with it??

All two strokes will have some amount of blow back, if it is excessive, enought to soak the air filter and affect the running it could be a blocked muffler or spark arrester, if not it is piston and ring wear.
