Petrol dripping out of vacuum pipe at dissy end

Anyone able to offer advice please

About 6 weeks ago I fitted a 1-2-3 distributor and the vacuum pipe run was a bit tight so today I finally got around to fitting a longer vacuum pipe.

But on taking the old pipe off I saw petrol dripping out of vacuum pipe at dissy end I’d run the car for a short time on choke before taking the choke off.

Petrol going in the dissy can’t be a good thing, I’ve no idea how long this has been going on.

What are the consequences of this and how do I stop it ? ?
