Rebuilding carbs on 1994 150 V6 69 deg Looper, got one side done, pressured up w/ fuel bulb...

Noticed fuel weeping out of small brass insert (bb) located on bottom of the float bowl casing..is this normal?? Or perhaps a JB weld solution is in order....the brass piece is +/- 1/16" in diameter and located on the bottom left side of the casing (if facing the 3/8" brass bowl drain screw...btw, this is doing the same on one carb on the opposite side....

It appears to me that the brass piece (bb) is a plug used on the injection molded carb bottom??? (Channel in bottom up to upper carb half) Seems to me that this should be completely sealed and not allow fuel out...

tx in advance
