Hello, I have a 1987 Toro Self propelled mower. Model # 20624 (suzuki engine, mikuni carb.)
Just rebuilt the carb, put all back together, and the carb is leaking gas out of the vent tube, as well as leaking gas into the air cleaner. i am almost certain the problem lies with the float. carburetor is positively clean, and the kit came with a new float needle which i replaced. The float, in my opinion does not seem to move freely enough to function as intended. Gas is literally pouring out of the float tube.
Can anyone help? I hate to send this mower to the landfill. Thanks, Mac.
