Please can anyone help me with my leaking carb. It leaks petrol when the float chamber is flooded for starting, The float does shut off the fuel from the tank and it leaks until the float is empty. I have cleaned the carb and replaced the gauze with new. But it still leaks.
hope you can help. Richard.

Richard,

I don't know your set up, but if the gas tank is too high it will over power the float valve and flood everything with gas.

That's my guess.
