My motor has not be started in

My motor has not be started in 9 months. It started just fine but I am noticing fuel leaking from top of lower carb. Is there some kind of overflow? What is the fix for the problem. Mike C.
 
I had the same problem with my Yamaha 90 (1981 model) been standing 18 months all on its lonesome, lower carb spilling fuel out of the vent. Removed the bowl drain screw, pumped fuel through it then used a plastic cable tie to gently clear the scum out of it, then tapped (or Klapped as we say in South Africa) gently with a piece of wood and rubber mallet and then for good measure used a piece of heavy duty solder wire to push up onto the float through the drain screw and presto back in business. Thanks guys great advice! :)
