Hey All!
I replaced the carburetor, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, lines and electric start cover. Fuel is leaking behind start cover and it won’t start. i’ve read about reseating the o ring, but it too is new. What else could be causing the problem. Thanks in advance!

Is is a Craftsman trimmer that few shops will work on. Stop throwing parts at it, you may not even have sufficient compression. Go buy a Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, or Redmax trimmer and your issues will be solved for years to come.
