fuel leaking

[hks308]

i was trying to change the idle control on my 01 300ex and i think i turned the wrong screw. i turned the screw right next to the choke lever, and now it leaks gas out of that overflow tube thing (sorry, don't know the name of it). but, i can't find out how to stop it from leaking gas out of that tube. what can i do, to stop this?


Thanks

Just screw it all the way back in.

That's what that screw does. ;) It's there to drain the carb before you change the jet. ;)
