I assume you mean the overflow hose? Go see if your overflow is crimped. If its not, thats not the answer. If it is, cut it off and see if it iwll start..

It could be. Maybe a vaccum or something. Try uncrimping/fixing it and see if it works. Thats the only way to find out.

I know what your talking about...if you take the bowl off, there is a metal tube that sticks up from the bottom of the bowl...actually, now that i think of it, it should be built right into the side of the bowl, mine is...take a picture.
do you know how to drain the oil? I Bet its right full of gas.

Your needle and seat must be worn. Take the bowl off, keep the fuel line hooked up and push up all the way on the float. turn the gas on. If any gas drips out, the needle and seat is worn. Just keep the fuel shut off when your not riding.
Did you drain your oil?

That tube is the overflow that drains excess fuel from the carb if the needle/seat leaks. It does bypass the drain screw and allows fuel to exit from the same drain. The screw just opens up that passage to the bottom of the bowl, the tube is open to the top. It will drain out fuel if it is now shorter than the set float level. So even if the needle/seat IS shutting of, the fuel will still run over and drain out that tube if it is too short.
