    One quick question

    I'm still waiting for my carb rebuild kit to arrive, but one question please: When I squeeze the ball on the fuel line, it gets very firm. If I lay into it and squeeze hard after the ball is solid firm, is it normal for gas to be forced out of the front of the carb and leak out? It does...
