About a week ago I posted with the symptoms of a fuel delivery problem and got the suggestion to try the petcock mod - remove the diaphragm and plug the prime opening in the plastic cylinder.  I did that and it worked, but I still have a slow leak past the shutoff position (formerly prime).  I'm pretty sure I caused it by some sloppy finishing work after I placed a screw if the opening.  I used some pvc pipe adhesive stuff to cover the screw/plug because I didn't have any epoxy and the nearby hardware store was closed.  Anyway, until I fix my mess, what risk is that slow leak into the hose to the carb?  I disconnected the hose to the carb and plugged it until I better understand if that is really necessary.  Say I ride to work in the morning and leave it connected all day - am I going to cause some kind of fuel backup or overflow problem throught the carb?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Barry, that's what I thought but wanted to hear some confirmation.  One way or another, I'll get it to stop leaking.
