that does not make sense? your carb operates by vacuum,gas can not flow with out it,I mean you see some spillage but it would only overflow if your kicking/cranking it over and the carb is parital open?
Remember,everyone is human,even if there stupid!

Had the same problem on my Aero 80. The O-ring gasket between the bowl and the carb body was shot. A carb rebuild kit from Sirius (http://www.siriusconinc.com) included that seal plus a needle, float plunger and main jet. Problem was solved.

I don't know if they have a kit for the spree, though.
