Export threadI have the same issue now. First I changed teh carb with a new cheapie from Amazon. Same thing. Then I replaced it with the spendy OEM carb. Same thing. Then I drained all fuel. Cleaned the tank, installed new fuel lines and fuel filter, cleaned carb /inlet needle and seat, put it back together. Same thing - gas pourinbg out carb!
Amen to that. All mower engine need these cheap and simple tools.You may also want to put a manual shut off valve in the fuel line, it will prevent this from happening again
Carb needs to be pressure tested. Needle and seat specifically.I have taken the carb off. Cleaned it all. Put it back on and cleaned the tank too and it still does this. I have put a shut off valve on it and as soon as you turn it on the fuel starts running out the carb again. After I cleaned it I mean right after I cleaned the carb I could us the mower for about 10 min. before it started dumping fuel again.
New doesn't mean new these days people. You have to test these "new" parts.I have the same issue now. First I changed teh carb with a new cheapie from Amazon. Same thing.

Like others stated, if you have gas flowing out of the carb, you have a needle/seat issue.
Or a carb bowl vent issue. If something is blocking the bowl vent will cause a siphoning effect.New doesn't mean new these days people. You have to test these "new" parts.
