Float may be stuck. You can try tapping on it with a wrench some and it may free up. Might have to remove and clean it also.

Turn fuel tap off. Run engine until float chamber is empty, then turn tap on again. If it is dirt stuck between float needle and seat, the rush of fuel past a wide open needle may dislodge it. If that doesn't work, remove float chamber and needle, clean and check it. The little spring loaded plunger can get to sticking, if it does, fit a new needle.

Default Leaking carb/ photos?

I had a fuel line only attached at one end. Maybe a vent? I also had a place on the carb to attach a hose so I attached the fuel line I mentioned to that place on the carb. Maybe hoses aren't attached right? Any help or photos of proper attached carb hoses? Thanks!
