No fuel should be coming out of the either one actually as that is an air bleed. Fuel should come out of the circle thing below the choke plate, however if fuel is actually coming out of the pipe it usually means the float level is too high in the sight glass window. The other pipe farther from you (closest to the engine) is the secondary and no fuel will be there until the throttle is about 3/4 open or more like in passing someone or going up a steep hill.

ok i apologize for marking the arrows to the wrong area, gas is coming from the circles below--- well from only one, i
i remarked the picture to show which one is only having gas when we start the truck. its running very crappy with a high-low-high-low idle.

***the secondary and no fuel will be there until the throttle is about 3/4 open or more like in passing someone or going up a steep hill.*** brainstorm- maybe the secondarys has issues as the truck wont go freeway speeds and as for passing, never passed anyone- except the old ladies in walkers and barely kids on skateboards...
