re: carburetor overflow hoses

[Gary Gerding <ggerding@tconl.com>]

The bottom tips of my overflow hoses look wet all of the time!  I have not
seen gas drip out but can see fumes coming out if the lighting is right.   Are
these wet hose tips nornal?  I also noticed that if I put my finger over the
end if the hose, the engine dies.  Is that normal?

Thanks,
