Ok, I went and took a quick look this morning before work.

Grk, the carb is not leaking just with the fuel on. as best as I can tell it floods the cylinder with gas when its kicked over. So this tells me that the entire problem is inside the carb somewhere, am I correct in thinking this?

Gillio, checked and all of my fluid levels are good and I dont have a sign of a blown crank seal, yet, That was my first thought when I say the fuel/oil leaking from the head pipe but to find out it was just old nasty gas.

I'm picking up a rebuild kit for that carb today, I'll go with a nice cleaning and  the rebuild tomorrow morning, hopefully this clears up my starting problems, then I can work on more important matters.
