Gas coming out of the vacuum port.  Is this when it is running or sitting 
still?  And why is there not anything attached to the port?

A little bit upon shut down should be expected since there is atomized fuel 
in the manifold, but if it continues check the float level and make sure the 
float is not filling up with fuel.  Also check the needle valve.  There might 
be 
some debris in the valve preventing complete closure.
