My HT101 Stihl pole saw is slobbering fuel out the tank vent tube in the filter box. I thought it was a carb problem when it wouldn't run. Put on a new carb, all new hoses. Today it would start then act like it was flooding out with no acceleration. I took off filter to see if the choke was working, started it and it ran fine. Left it idle while doing some other stuff and saw it was slobbering fuel out the tube under the filter. Is there a valve in the top of the tank or is it a carb problem why the gas is being forced out of the tank vent? Runs fine with no filter but it mists me in fuel. Put the filter in the box and it floods it. the filter is new.
