Sounds like the brass stand pipe in the bowl is cracked. Removed the bowl, sand the pipe nice and shiny and look for a black vertical line showing the crack.
Add flux and solder closed.

So you didn't look at the Welcome Package of helpful links I slaved over a hot computer to create and share with everyone who posts their introduction?? :lol: Don't worry, you're not alone.
Welcome Package - first link in it explains posting pictures using our server host, or you can create an Imgur (or other picture hosting site) account and post their links

And then we want a picture!

Hopefully the hose will last which will be a first.
Please keep track of time and let us/me know in @6 months if it's held. Lots of people are very uncomfortable with their soldering skills and this could be an answer.
We're here to help, the only thing you have to pay is attention...
And yes, as Jim requested, keep us up on how the gas line repair goes for future reference.
Thanks all for your help and expertise! I heated the overflow tube and forced the weedeater gas line over it. The CM400T is running fine and not leaking. I'll let y'all know on the gas hose fix. The trick of drilling and tapping the idle jet was the big big deal. It all work so well. Only took the carbs apart three times. Thanks again!
