I have rebuilt a carb on a 80 200 20hp merc. When I prime the bulb fuel pours out of a hole on the front of the carb. It starts but only sputters with fuel pouring out of this same hole. It is the hole part #16 goes in. http://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/parts/481_5.cfm

What is part #16, a screw a plug? I do not remember removing anything from this hole, why is there fuel pouring out? Please help!
