no you are very wrong on this account what you think is the "breather pipe" is in fact the over flow pipe and it leaks petrol when the float in the carb is stuck dismanttle the carb and clean it out or a gentle tap with a hammer will do the trick
*as for the bike not running properly when idleing thats the idle screw located on the right hand side of the carb start the bike keep it at minumum revs and screw it inwards til it idles itself
so no need ti spend £10
