Well the gas is going someplace and I'd guess it's not being stopped by the float valve. There is a slight possibility it could be going through the diaphram of the fuel pump and into the crank case, but I would check the carb first.

Johnny, please punctuate and capitalize your posts. It might also be a useful idea to use a title that says something about your problem/question.
