It is leaking right out of the throat of the carb.
I know that the fuel tank is at the right height.

running too rich and/or the tank is too high. Are you using muffler pressure?

I am using the muffler pressure to push the fuel to the carb, and the carb is set in accordence to the Magnum manuel.
Thanks for your time and trouble

The factory setting are always to get you in the park. Listen to how the engine is running and adjust accordingly. Try this. with the engine off and a full tank of fuel, open the throttle and see if fuel drips out. If so the tank is too high. If not then you are most likely still too rich on the needles

Thanks for the info. The tank may be to high because when I stop the engine from running the fuel keeps leaking out of the throat of the carb.

Thanks speedracerntrixie The tank was to high even though I set it up according to the manuel.
Again thanks for your time and trouble.
