Should be a Rochester 4GC.
My 4GC had the same problem - it's from the rubber boot getting too old and maybe exposure to ethanol in gas, etc. You can get a new carb kit at Napa and it should have the rubber plunger piece. Worth saving the rest of the kit and rebuilding the carb as well.
You won't have to remove too many screws to replace the boot itself.

You can view the pages of the manual for that carb here:

Same thing happened to me and I had to buy another kit! The Napa kit had the boot inside and the one from Fusick didn't.
