Maybe you forgot to close the screw? Otherweise it usually doesn't leak out of that little drain, cause on my S when it was flooded i allways turned off the gas, opened that screw and drained all the gas out if it, turned the gas back on and it popped off, so i don't think it should be coming out of there.

Take your carb off, and give it a good cleaning, your float valve is probably sticking, or may need to be adjusted...What year 200x? Does it have a fully plastic float, or is the "tang" on the float metal?

As i recall ALL years of the 200X's had the plastic floats. 83-87 24mm carb. Correct height would be 14mm
