</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Can someone check to see if there is a standard hole centered at the bottom of the carburetor? Mine was about 1/8" in diameter. Talked to someone else who thought there was just and indention, but no hole. If that is the case, then maybe I should go ahead and have the hole plugged??

Look... you've been told already not to plug the hole air horn hole.. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif.. but looks like you really.. really want to do it.. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
The MS carbs ( assuming you have a ms carb.. and not the zeinith ) had an air horn drain, and a pipe plug on the bottom ,the plug was the drain for the bowl.. the air horn is for precisely what people have been telling you.. to drain off excess gas from a flodded carb. If you plug that hole, gas will simple come out of the mouth of the carb ( where the air comes in ). If it is the pipe plug that is missing, gas will flow straight out of the carb, as fast as it can thru the gas line... that doesn't sound like what you are describing... sounds like you are talking about a drip of gas from the air horn. I agree with the others.. probably a leaky float needle or misadjusted or bad float, causing excess gas to build up and then overflow/drain.
Tisco makes 2 kits for the tsx 33/241 carbs. A basic for about 20 bucks.. and a 'better' kit for about 30 bucks. main difference is the better kit has preplacement needles. The float must be bought seperately.. if you need one. Refurbed or new aftermarkets are going for about 139$ or so.
Some chemdip, and pipe cleaners and bits of thin wire are all thats needed to clean that carb. Also.. check to see that the elbow that goes into the carb still has a metal screen on it.. if not.. that is one place where crud is getting under the float needle.
