I know this has probably been discussed somewhere on here before but could not find. I have a 2008 Roketa MC54 250B, that i just purchased with only 870miles on it. After taking it out for a spin a couple of times in my neighborhood, i noticed a gas leak. After lifting the seat and top cover the gas is coming out of one of the ports on the carb. A picture on the net shows this port as not used, the one nearest the gas inlet that points downward towards the ground is where gas is flowing out of. It does have an electric fuel pump. Can anyone help or please share some thoughts on this? Thanks

possibly a stuck float and discharging out the overflow port?

Won't hurt to go over the carb and do a complete cleaning. The float height also can be off as well as float valve sticking or leaking. There are some videos here and on utube that show what to look for and to clean them.
Just could be that was the reason there is only 870 miles on the scooter

I do believe that is your overflow,as stated earlier stuck float. Try tapping lightly on the carb with a very small hammer,then ride it and see if it has stopped.
