S scarecrowmasked New member Sep 12, 2010 #2 sounds like you have a saturated/maladjusted carb float. had that happen once, had to replace the carb float. it stops leaking when you turn off the gas much like the water stops when you turn off the faucet.

A Amazonqueen New member Sep 13, 2010 #4 can I take part of the carb loose and see the float - if so which part?
P Pure Awsomeness New member Sep 13, 2010 #5 yes, there ought to be one or two screws holding the bowl onto the carb assembly. the float will be rather obvious as it will be donut shaped. but it could also be a stuck needle valve, too. at this point, you may want to consider getting the shop manual.
