this has been goin on for a while now, i have a 6hp techumseh engine for yerf dog and the gas is leaking from the carbourator where the air filter is. i looked at the float and it had a hole in it, had someone fuse the hole where there is no more hole and tested it and it floats, it doesnt take on gas either. but when i put it back on i thought it would run, but as soon as i put gas in it, about 5min later, leakin gas from carb, and when it leaks, its no drop every 2 sec, its a steady stream, so i keep adjusting the part on the float higher and higher so it closes needle with less gas, more and more i did this it leaked less gas and i finally stopped adjusting it when gas leaked OUT OF THE BOWL, NOT AIR INTAKE PART, 1 hour from adjusting it, so i figure let gas drain then fill some w/ gas and try starting it.. no start. so i push down the float/needle adjuster thing to let in slightly more gas into bowl and then start it and it started, but it started and tried to take off on its own.
