I have a porter cable generator with a 20 HP Honda (I think GX 620) I cleaned the carb. When I put it back on and started it I had gas shooting out of a bib for a hose. I can't find the hose or where it would attach if it were there. I have include some pics. Does anyone have an idea where the hose may attach on the other end or where I can find a diagram.

Thanks,

Jay

Agree with wrenchhead, your carburetor is flooding and that's why fuel is spilling out this nipple. Have another look at the inlet metering needle and float, which is most likely the problem.

I am new at fixing motors getting better all the time, but very green. What you said makes so much sense. I will look at it and let you know.
