I recently picked up a 1949 TO20. All I had to do to get it running when I got it was sand the points. I have also changed the oil.
I was out brush hogging for about 45 minutes when it just died. I saw gas peeing out of the carb (link to picture at the end). When I turn it over the stream slows and when I let off, I see steam or something come out of the engine dipstick port on the block, and can hear what I can best describe as the sound of pressure relieving, I believe also coming from that area.
It was running great up to that point. But now I cannot get it to start. Did I drop a cylinder?

PS I also see some drips coming from the circled shaft in the picture. The gas flow out of the spot under the bottom of the carb has been going for a few minutes. Also when I let off the starter, I hear a gurgling.
