No, it’s not normal for the fuel to flow like that. The O rings are damaged or cracked causing the leak or the brass valve inside is jammed or damaged.
If you have a primer bulb in the hose, has someone installed a fuel pump on the motor? Originally the motor would have come with a pressure tank and a dual line hose from the tank to the motor. The pressure tank has a primer button on it to prime the carb. Is your fuel line single or double?
If yours is a dual line, use the proper 301824 OMC/BRP O rings available from your dealer to avoid leaks and ensure proper fit. If the motor is equipped with a pump and single line, it’s easier to replace the connector instead of the O ring inside it.
