Leaking carbs

[Scott]

I have leaking fuel from carb number 3. It seems like fuel is coming out of the outlet hose under the bowl and out of the jet near the flaps. When I turn the gas on from the tank it leak even before I turn it on.

Your float may be stuck or the float needle may be stuck, drop the bowl and make sure it is moving freely, as well as the needle, you'll see the bottom of it. Spray some carb cleaner under the carb with the float bowl off to try to get the floats moving again, once they work, they will stop the gas. If they don't, the float itself might be shot, you'll have to pull it off and test it to make sure it floats.

   first try tapping on the number 3 carb bowl with the handle end of a big screwdriver, sometimes this will knock the float loose and back down in position without taking it apart, you should see no gas leaking anymore if it worked, good luck, mikey440
