The hose hangs down between the motor and swingarm. However, it's not supposed to leak gas. Check your float. It's more than likely stuck.

Yeah it was the float I think. I got it started and it stopped leaking. No hose tho.

its leaking again with the gas on. it will run with the gas off but i dont want to jump it like that. If the float is stuck what do i need to do exactly?

Take the bowl off, and give it a good cleaning. I would get a hose to put on it. Without one, dirt could be working it's way in there and causing it to stick.

There should be a screw towards the bottom.Loosen it and it drains the bowl.Tighten it,might have loosened somehow.
