    there is no check valve unless you put one in..You could put a clear fuel filter up at the carb and see if its empty in the AM..My thought would be carb. accelerator pump?? Floats not set right.

    I have a clear fuel filter befor the carb, and since I repositioned the fuel hose it stays pretty full. The fuel used to bubble out of the filter,

    so I thought I solved the problem. I also put a clear filter before the fuel pump, and it is pretty empty in the morning. The accelerator pump

    seems to work, I need to check it again with my glasses on. Thanks for the help, I'll check the acc pump AGAIN.
