Sounds like something's loose... :)
That hole is probably the ventilator hole for the float bowl at the
bottom of the carb. Generally, there's a hose from the vent hole to a
charcoal cannister to recycle gas fumes. What you describe is a classic
symptom of the following:
1. Sticking needle valve.
2. Messed up floats.
Take off the carb, remove the float bowl. Check out the floats and make
sure they're properly attached to the metal piece that closes the needle
valve. Then check out the needle valve itself. It controls fuel input
to the float bowl from the fuel line.
