Normal to do that.
If it was the fuel pump with a ruptured diaphragm ,
USUALLY it will fill the crankcase with oil. but not the cylinders, But if it gets full enough
it
will fill them and then fuel gets pumped into the muffler.
Since you were in the carb it is likely to check that first.
Make sure you take the needle out of the carb and blow the hose connecting elbow out where it connects to the carb both ways, as little cling-ons like to hide there.
if you changed the hoses leading into the fuel pump, also check that they are clean and clear.
Always best to start a hose replacement with blowing out the new length of hose first, then be careful to clean cut a hose, then be careful to put it on the barb taking care to not skin the inner jacket which could birth a cling-on
