Your float never perfectly fully seals, and so when you apply pressure on the carb, you overfill the bowl, and so you fill the carburetor body with gas, and if that happens, the very first place it will leak is from where you saw gas exit: the flame arretor and its connection.
this is exactly why your electrical fuel pump is only powered when you have oil pressure, starting when cranking. At least if your fuel pump is wired normally. Turning the key without cranking should NOT start the pump, as it WILL leak out of the carburetor bowl, one way or another.
Just think what was the situation with the mechanical pump: only fuel pressure when shaft spinning
No kidding here, this is a HUGE hazard...
