I have a JD SX75 approximately 15 yrs old just developed a fuel leak/dripping from the bottom of the exhaust pipe coming out of the bottom of the engine. I do have fuel puddled in the bottom of the air filter housing just above the carb. which I don't think I have seen before. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob

Carb needle valve not sealing allowing the gas to overfill the carb, run into the cylinder, and out the muffler. clean the carb and replace the needle valve and you should be good to go.

Sounds good, will have to try that, however just not quite sure which needle valve you mean. Looks like I have a possibility of 3 to chose from. Thanks., Bob
