Honda HRX 217 Carb Leaking Gas

[witness7]

I just recently purchased a Honda self propelled mower Model-HRX217HXA and after purchasing it i had to buy a new carb and all the gaskets for it... It runs great now, but it is leaking gas but only when I am mowing sideways on a hill with the carb facing downward. IF i am level on ground it does not leak at all the gas is coming out of a small hole in the carb Hope that photo of the carb appears here so you can see where I mean I have never ran into this issue before so I do not know how to fix the problem .. the black arrow in the photo shows where the leak is coming from...any help would sure be appreciated... Thank you

That is the vent hole.
If fuel is coming out that hole you hys have the mower at a silly lean angle.

Oh then it is normal for fuel to come out of that small hole if you have it at a angle on a hill with the carb facing downloads? I have never had a mower that did this but my first time owning a Honda Self Propelled mower... If that is normal then I guess on certain hills I will just have to use a regular push mower? Thank you for replying to me, so again fuel coming out of that small hole is normal if you have it sideways on a hill? Thanks again

No and there will be no more replies from me here as you have double posted and that gets way too confusing
