Yeah, when I had it apart before, I just sat the bowl aside and focused on the float and needle, so I didn't remember exactly how it worked. I just went and took all the hoses off except the supply line, and saw where the problem is. I turned the gas on, and it is running out of the UPPER hose, listed in the manual as the "Air Vent Hose"" which is larger in diameter and comes off the upper right side up by the piston/diaphragm. So apparently, it isn't the float or the bowl. Got any ideas what the heck might be causing THIS issue? I am guessing something has trash in it, but where would it be to cause gas to come out of the air vent hose? I guess I really need to break it completely down and clean it, I just wasn't looking forward to having to buy any new gaskets or o-rings or a diaphragm.....
This reminds me how much I like direct fuel injection...
