Two things you need to fix that issue.

1. 681077 - dump valve assembly

2. 608801 - replacement fuel bowl gasket

You should be able to order these parts from any Lawnboy dealer, or from eBay.

You're welcome. You won't have to remove the carb if you have a right angle phillips, or a very short one. Be careful tightening the four screws back. That plastic carb body is easy to strip. I've done it.

Oh, and be sure to notice how the float and spring go back together. Good luck.
