Could be any number of causes.Wrong adj.malfunctioning float or float valve,
improperly assembled carb,Could be a leaking float pull it out a shake it.
It is normal for a small amount of fuel to pass through the motor and out the exhaust.Very noticeable in a barrel.

TCW3 is a oil rating system. Any oil rated TCW3 is suitable.
