I recently rebuilt the carbs, and now my motor runs tip top. But after going for a run, and then looking under the cover to make sure everything looks OK (I was mostly worried about the new fuel lines staying attached) I noticed that a bit of fuel was oozing from the starboard port of the lower carburetor.
I forget where this port/vent (not even sure of correct term) connected to, but I do recall they went into the bowl. There were two holes in the top of the bowl, one was plugged (I think this one) and one was not.
I did not observe the port/vent while the motor was running, so I'm not sure if it's from idling or running.
Both carbs were rebuilt at the same time. and I feel reasonably confident I did both identically.
Any idea on what may be causing this?
You can see the red-ish premix fuel at the port on the lower carb.
The port in question is on the lower carb, just below the upper carb's bowl.
