2 destroyed starters in a row...WTH?

Yes, both times the engine was at operating temp - I had just returned from drives both times, then was re-starting the car.

What would be the symptoms of such a fuel spillage problem (besides the obvious)? Would I have to open up the Carb to check that? Carb is also 2 years old - Holley 750 which seems to work fine otherwise.
Just look down the carb after you run it and make sure no fuel is dripping into the intake.
