ok. So I got the blaster just a few weeks ago and now im pissed. It was running great the first few funs. Now when I give it gas it bogs down and wants to die. I also noticed the there is a long black hose coming from the underside of the carb and it is leaking gas reall bad. It just started today. I took the carb off and cleaned it, didnt notice any carbon ot crao in there at all. New spark plug too. Please help....

Thats the over flow tube and that means you have dirt in your float valve. you will need to remove the carb and clean the float valve out really well.
then you need to double check the float level and if thats ok just replace the float valve
what I do to clean float valves seats is cut a Qtip in half, shove it into a dremal, put a bit of metal polish on the qtip and then with it on Med-slow polish the float valve seat. Then clean it out good with carb cleaner and the other clean half of the Qtip.

^^^Sound advice. The "runs like crap" part is due to your fuel level being too high from the assumedly stuck (or dirty) float valve.
Worst case, you end up buying a rebuild kit. The needles and seats also wear out.

Ok, so I took it apart again and no debris or anything. The float valve moved nice and free. I know for sure it is over fueling. Also the jet said 240 and 3 on it. Maybe too big?
