Default MT2 18ss fuel issue

Greetings all,

I completed some of the break in runs on this truck. It ran pretty good, i'll have to adjust the throttle to be open a bit more at idle. I noticed that fuel was in the pressure tube that runs from the tank to the exhaust. Is this normal? From what i understood this tube was for pressurizing the tank only. why would there be fuel in it? I also noticed that fuel was coming out of the exhaust tip. Not spraying out but it was coming out in drops so the concrete was wet where i was running it for 2 tanks. I haven't messed with the rich/lean adjustments at all. Is this normal during break in?
thanks

the manual says that during idle the carb should be set to about 1 mm but mine will not idle at that setting. It dies. I have set mine to about 1/4 of the way open. is this normal? what could be wrong? Also, the manual says that you shouldn't adjust the lean/rich setting. Does the engine lean out as it breaks in? I don't wanna screw with the unless i have to.
thanks
