Make sure your petcock is in there tight, replace your fuel lines if they are old and cracked, check the lower screw under the high speed needle and make sure its tight and not loose, its the carb drain screw and its a flat head.

never mind figured that out and tightened everything. it only leaks out the carb after it runs and constantly drips in the petcock area. Must be a whole or something.
