I just picked up a Mint 400 and would like to know where should the fuel be dribbling from when I tickle the carb? From around tickler like an AMAL, out the vent on the side of the bing or out the bottom of the float bowl through vent pipe in the float bowl?

Thanks.

It should come out the vent tubes.

I have gas running out through the vent in the bottom of the carb float bowl vent. I only get gas out of the side vent by the tickeler
when I hold me finger over the vent in the bottom of the float bowl.
Any ideas?

I don't think that is a problem.  I think the lower one is just relieving the overflow situation enough to where the upper is just not coming into play.  When you stop the lower one the upper then takes over.  I think that is the case.  If it pees when you tickle it and all else is well it should fire up.
