adsm08 4,323 #1 Posted 5 hours ago The boy went to mow tonight and couldn't get the engine to start. I took a look, and fuel was running out of the carb. So I took it apart, checked the float and needle, they are working at best I can tell. They pass every test I know, I can flip the carb over and not be able to blow through it, I can hold the float up and get no fuel, I can let go of the float and it drops, along with the needle. But as soon as I put the bowl on and prime the fuel system fuel starts running out of the carb. This is one that has had an electric pump installed. Aside from the pump overwhelming the float I'm at a loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
