You have a problem in the carb.
Clean well paying special attention to the float needle and seat.

how does the carb affect a line that runs directly to the cylinder head from the petcock?

According to the parts fiche, that hose you mention is a vaccum hose.
That would lead me to believe that there may be a petcock problem. They have a lil fiber thingie that can go bad and allow fuel to go into that vac hose.
