Honda 5hp outboard engine.
Anybody ever had the over flow tube leak fuel when the engine is running - like it is running with too much fuel and the carb bowl is flooding / overflowing?
When the carb is flooded there is a wheel on the bottom of the carb for draining the bowl - you can turn anticlockwise and the carb empties then you can restart the engine.
When the engine is running, there is extra fuel dripping from the tube - what would cause this?
The fuel is significant from this tube - but only when the engine is running - any ideas?

regards,
Pete
