200x84

Ive had the 200x for a very short time. Went to run after a month and it was hard to start. Seemed flooded so after cleaning the plugs it fired up.
However, while it iddled I noticed there is a leak from the carburator.
First, I found a hose with a crack, because when I turned on the fuel valve it started coming out w/preasure as the small hole was not dripping but taking a piss.
After I replaced the hose then I noticed gas was still coming out.
This time I found two hoses coming out of the carb but where not plugged to anything and vented to atmosphere and one of them was leaking the fuel, then stop and then leak again until fuel valve was shut.
Not knowing much about carburators or this one in particular; it is as if the carb is filling w/fuel when I open the valve and then it starts to leak the overflow out this hose.
Anyone have a good diagram of the carburator? The manual I have does not reference those two hoses that vent to atmosphere.
Anyone with carburator experience familiar with my fuel leak problem.
Thanks in advance!
