Where's it leaking from?

If it's completely stock never rebuilt, may be time for a carb rebuild kit. They're cheap and it certainly couldn't hurt. Everytime mine's just leaked like that (hasn't since the rebuild) it was a stuck float.

Clean the little grain of sand from the float seat and install in inline fuel filter, and you'll never have this problem again.

Yup, float seats are a pain when you get something in there. just pull it out and blow through there with air both directions. Before you put it to gether check it buy blowing air through the inlet line and push up the float and see if its sealing off. that can save you alota time.
