Default Fuel leak help

When fuel switch is turned on, gas leaks from the port highlighted on the attachment. Is there supposed to be a hose connected here? Thanks in advance, cant wait to finally enjoy this beast!!

Not sure what carb you have. Carb overfill/vent? Hose attaches to drain or vent fuel bowl? Most likely caused by carb float needle/seat not closing off fuel when bowl is full. May need new needle or maybe just junk/rubber hose particle between needle & seat to shut fuel off properly when bowl is full.
