just got my girls odyssey running but a lot of fuel comes out the hoses for the overflow is it a mikuni thing or is it me. (me im sure) so talk to me guys halloween is getting close. is it a float thing if so how do i ajust it or check it. THANK YOU

Sometimes in storage the gas will evaporate out of the carb and leave sticky 2 stroke oil residue behind gumming things up.

Yes it's a float thing. The float is stuck wide open so it keeps sending fuel into the float bowl and out the overflow tube. Try tapping firmly with a screwdriver handle or lightly with a small hammer. Sometimes this is enough to free up the float. If not, take off the float bowl (Easiest if the carb is off but not necessary I believe). Move the float up and down to see if it binds at all. Check to see if it has filled with gas. While your at it, take out the jets and blow em out (Can't hurt) with compressed air. Usually, its just something gummed up in there and once it's free, the carb works good.
