leaking out of a tube coming from carb? that is carb bowl drain, there is a screw at bottom of carb, should be tightened all the way snug

Try adjusting the needle. I had a similar problem and I moved the needle down 1 notch (running a little richer) and I readjusted the throttle stop and fuel screws and it fixed my problem.

ok there might be a hose on the back for your carb that goes to theupper half of the bowl take it off if there is one and see what happens my friends had one and wouldnt run unless it was full throtle then when it started it would die
