Hey Steve. What you’re describing sounds like a classic case of carburetor flooding, and that vent tube is doing exactly what it’s meant to do—relieve pressure when there’s too much fuel in the bowl. Gas squirting out usually means fuel is overfilling the float bowl. Here’s what’s likely going on. 1. Stuck or Sunken Float 2. Worn or Dirty Needle Valve 3. Debris in the Inlet or Float Bowl

It is a tube cast right on the carb, maybe 3/8′ long. Can you help?
