octfst 378 #1 Posted November 17, 2012 I've got a puzzle I'm hoping someone can help me out. I put the snowblower on a 753 today and when I started it gas was spraying under the hood. so I replaced the fuel line & still spraying. not sure where its coming from but my best quess is from behind the valve cover. did'nt check to see if theres gas in the oil yet. dry around carb and fuel pump this is between the carb & gov. its a strong spray not a drip or leak. the tractor starts fine & doesnt start to leak right away. I've not had any problems this has came as a total surprise. Thanks for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #2 Posted November 17, 2012 Sounds like the back of the fuel pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coadster32 793 #4 Posted November 18, 2012 I had the fuel pump leak internally on my 753. Just quickly bypass the pump and gravity feed the carb from the tank. If the squirting goes away, you know where the problem lies. (Won't cost you anything but some fuel line). BTW...I still have mine gravity fed, and it works w/o a problem...snowthrower and all.

Shuboxlover 481 #6 Posted November 22, 2012 Could your float be sticking, causing gas to flow out of the carb....then the air moving from the flywheel makes it look like it's spraying??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
