It sounds like your float valve has debris in it, or the float level is incorrectly adjusted. Pull the float bowl off the carb and verify that it shuts off fuel flow when it sits level in the bowl. If it doesn't, clean the float valve, retry, and adjust as needed. Most of the cags we have been getting have plastic debris in the fuel tanks. I just pull the tank and wash it out before even trying to put fuel in when they're new.
It can be done on the bike but is a lot easier on the bench. The tube thats leaking is an overflow tube that leaks the fuel on the ground instead of into your motor if the float valve fails.
