7.5 sears gamefisher leaks gas when i start it under gas line (carburetor?)?

Question

I have a 80's 7.5 horsepower sears gamefisher motor. When I pull the cord to start the motor, gas leaks out of the bottom of the bowl type thing under the gas line socket. I think this may be the carburetor, but not sure- could be a more specific name. Could anybody tell me what part I need to order to fix this problem. Please help! Thanks

Answer 1

order a carburetor rebuild kit. the carb has rubber seals in it and they go bad over time and start leaking. the kit should come with instructions for rebuilding.
