Carberator problem
Engine has been starting and running fine for about four weeks.
Started it on Friday to move the truck (started and ran fine). Went back two hours later. Truck won't start, there is gas on the intake manifold that seems to be leaking out of the carberator. What happened?

Give us a few details
 Carb type? Stains of where fuel is leaking out? Right off hand I would guess the needle and seat found a bit of trash and its flooding out. Look around the throttle shafts for fuel. |
