sounds like flot is stuck or set to high.
try tapping it wiyh something to see if it stops.
if it doesnt then you need to clean it

dripping is normal. a slight stream is a bit much. i know the 99's and 00's has this problem. they revised the float pin and maybe even another part in the 400ex carb in 01 to fix this problem. what year carb do you have?

sorry, i thought you said a 400ex carb. i don't know much about the 300's carb.

i agree, the float may be stuck. i would take the whole carb apart and clean it.
