Just got the steampunk project all together and started it up, was difficult to start and when it did I noticed that fuel was coming out of the ACV assembly tube that should be hooked up to the vacuum line. In the photo attached it's the tube that isn't connected to anything. The fuel line is hooked up correctly (it starts fine and runs good when I disconnect the tube in question and plug it off. Where's the fuel coming from?

Will post final pics soon... just waiting for a sunny day to roll it out for it's profile.
