No it's not. Fuel will only overflow if something is BROKEN and not working right.
The float and needle valve inside the carb will prevent that......if it is working correctly.

There is an overflow nipple/hose but it comes out the bottom; don't remember what is on the "upper left side".

Might need a picture to identify what it is for sure that he is talking about.......but there is no part of the carb that should be leaking gas when the petcock is turned to PRIME.
