6HP Snow Blower carb leak

[giuseppe105]

Hi guys

Were in the biggest snow fall so far this year and when I went to go use my snow blower it wont start. I can see lots of gas dripping from the bottom of the carburetor. Before i saw this i warmed the engine up and i can see hot air coming from the carb right beside the intake manifold. Any idea before i tear into it?

Thanks

Float needle is sticking, time to rebuild the carb, replacing the needle and/or seat. Common problem for units that sit for extended periods of time with today's fuel.
