Re: carburetor leaking
Had the same problem recently:
Of course the obvious - ensure all fittings are tight and carb to manifold bolts are tight. if its leaking from the carb/manifold surface might need a new gasket. Another thing to double check would be the float level - if they're not adjusted properly the bowls will fill too much and cause fuel to leak. Try to find the model number and check out the manual - many times they will have a troubleshooting step by step section. |
