1970 merc 110 9.8hp fuel leak??

[sgms18]

On the very top rear of the float bowl there is a small hole, maybe a vent? If I squeeze the primer bulb more then about 2 times fuel sprays out of that hole. Is this normal? It seems like a fire hazard to me. Anyone had this issue?

The float valve is not seating, need to remove and rebuild carb.

Well its not normal.I agree with boats.net that you would have to remove and rebuild the carb.
