i own an 87 honda prelude carb'd model...it's has never failed me until a few days ago...i started it, it was running very rough and i immediately smelled gas....
i removed the air cleaner so i could see if i could locate the problem and here's what's happening....http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e309/estyanne/carb1.jpg..when the car starts, gas starts pouring out of the nipple in the picture...it's just dumping inside the fuel filter...

any ideas why this all of a sudden started...where is the gas coming from...that nipple appears to be a vacuum line of some sort...the line attaches at the bottom left had side of the left hand side carb...

i found a blurb on a web that suggested it was the Air Vent Cut-off Solenoid or float but i can't locate a part by that name....the line going to the nipple where the gas comes from leads to what looks like a solenoid or some type of vac/elec switch mounted low on the right hand side of the right hand carb'd appreciate any tips or advise, better yet, how to repair it...
