The fuel should not be getting past the float valve - if the float is up, the valve should be shut. Suspect trash in that orifice. If fuel is leaking after that and draining the bowl then you need to find out what is open to drain the bowl.


Where is the fuel going? Coming out the main jet? The jiggler?
