Milton is leaking Gas. ???

[dimeadubbin]

At first I smelled gas and found that it had overflowed out of the fuel cap. once it was vented it was fine. But then this morning it wouldn't start and whenever I turned it over there would be gas coming out of the bottom of the motor. Its not leaking from the carb or fuel lines. What could be the cause? Milton is a 1970 baywindow with a 1600 SP.

Are you sure it's coming out the bottom of the engine? Check your oil level. If it's overfull and smells like gas it's likely the fuel pump diagphram broke and is leaking gas into the crankcase.
