carb drain hose

Post by kenkah » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:57 pm

On the bottom of the carburetor there is a fuel line that seem to be a drain. I read through some other posts where it was said that this is basically useless. my problem is is that I have fuel pouring out of the tube. Should I plug the tube or is there a bigger issue here?

Level...., or the float(s) could be perforated.

Or the float needle and seat could be dirty or worn.
