[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 485790, member: 7376"] Most likely that's the vent for the carburetor. If I am right, it's likely that either the float valve is leaking, or the bowl gasket (or both) leaking. At that point, it's probably wise to rebuild the carb with a new float valve assembly and float chamber gasket. Does it run ok otherwise? Idle and start ok? Edit: After looking closer at the pics I see where they've put the accelerator pump diaphram in the bowl as well. There's possibility that the diaphragm may be leaking; may as well grab that and any o-rings/gaskets associated with that too. I wonder, does a carb kit come with all of that stuff? Some do, some dont--and it's been a long time since I've done one of those. [/QUOTE]
