Wrapping up my Huztl 440 build, starts and runs good but I am having a gas leak problem. Seems that when sitting and the air temp and corresponding pressure in tank rises, gas leaks between the fuel line and the carb inlet. Could it be the fuel line? It seems to fit pretty snug. I've ordered an OEM line from the dealer, should be here in a day or so. Enough gas leaks to spill out of the housing and down the handle.
Thanks
 
OEM line will fix it... symptoms are just as you describe, pressure builds in the tank and fuel starts to siphon from the fuel hose/carb nipple, leave it long enough with pressure and it'll empty the tank.
