That is one of the two vent tubes that vent the float bowl. If gas is "p!ssing" out there is a problem with your fuel level being too high in the float bowl. They tuck up into the frame center tube. Tap on the side of the carb sharply with a screw driver handle to see if the float is stuck. If the gas stops coming out the vent the float was stuck. It could also be dirt on the needle valve.

That's a carb vent tube... you have two of them...
They go like this , and attach to nothing, open to atmosphere...
They must remain open, you can't block them..
If it's leaking, your float is stuck. (try rapping the bowl with the handle of a screwdriver)... if that don't work, you have to open the bowl and fix either the float or float needle seat...

absolutely right. I have encountered the same problem I cleared a needle valve and everything was OK

Yeah, it's not bigtwin, but it is the best half of it
