carb leaks gas

[gravy2400]

I have a 1979 g1. I'm leaking gas from the carburetor. I took it off and seen it was leaking out of the plug. It a brass tube. There's a hole in it and gas is coming out of that. Is that normal to have hole in it ? Or can I take it out and put a new one in ? Where would I get something like that ? Sorry I'm new on here. Thanks, dave

buy a can of carb cleaner

remove the carb and then remove the float bowl
remove the float and clean out the needle/float-valve hole it rides in
as it is stuck or has dirt so it is not shutting off the fuel flow
that is common and why the gas is coming out the vent

worst case the float has cracked and allowed gas inside and will need to be replaced

if somebody monkeyed with carb the little tab may need to be adjusted
if it is not shutting off the flow when the float bowl is near full

while you have the carb apart spray all the other jet-holes with carb cleaner
put it back together
