[Spridgets] HS2 Float Lid Question

[David Ambrose]

Greetings O Learned Ones:

My son and I just mounted some newly rebuilt carbs on his desmogged '70 
midget. We turned on the key, and have gas coming out the "spare" hose 
connection on the rear carb. I don't remember us having anything on that 
connection previously so I'm both puzzled and concerned by this sudden 
production of liquid petrol. Did we get the carb lids swapped? The 
emission control diagram seems to indicate that is normally a vent of 
some sort that runs to the carbon cannister.

Thanks,
Dave Ambrose
