I noticed the fuel tank leaking in my Nexstar so I cahnged it for a new one.... However, now when I fuel the tank it fills the carb with fuel..... Could this be some sort of venting problem? It's installed correctly and the vent (pink) hose is towards the top...
I fill from the fill tube.... They have 3 tubes, vent (pink), carb (blue), and fill (green).
Before you run out and get a hemostat, check the tank.
Remove the two lines from the muffler and Carb, and unplug the fill line. Then blow into the fill line (Or the carb line). Next, blow into the vent line. If the vent is plugged (Which is what it sounds like) it will be harder to blow through than either of the other two.
It may be that you crimped the brass vent tubing when you bent it toward the top of the tank.
