      Steve is there a
      Way that the fuel could be coming out of both sides?? The air cleaner side and the engine side?? I see the gas leaking from the snow blower but when I did an oil change on it it looked to have some gas in the oil. I’m not 100 percent sure if there was but the oil seemed very liquidy and not as thick as when I put it in and it also had a type of sheen to the oil. I’m not sure if it could be both.

    Saturated float...In 1976..on a 73 ChevVan...plastic coated opencell foam float in a Qjet 4barrel.. took apart twice...still flooded...third time noticed float was heavier than normal...replaced with used one from parts stash...set up level..reassembled...ran better than new. Thank goodness the hollow plastic floats that are used in small engines are better quality today. Best to you and yours.

    Thank you! I rebuilt the carb on my 5hp Tecumseh about a week ago. I initially thought all went well and it started right up on 1 pull. 1 week after storing it I noticed a fuel smell in the garage and a puddle of gas. After watching your video I pulled it apart and checked the brass float. Sure enough it was filled with gas. I replaced the float and reassembled and no leak. It runs better than it has in at least 5 years. Great video. Thanks Brian.

    Steve there were some older Briggs with brass floats , and you should mention a lot of the Tecumseh carbs had a high spot & a low spot in the bottom of the fuel bowl and it has to be put on correctly or it won't allow the float to come down. I have also repaired many brass floats by putting them in a cup of boiled water & held it completely under the water , and then you should see bubbles come out . Then you can Mark it , clean it & solder it .! :-) hope that helps someone too.

As soon as I put it back and tested it, the snowblower is not leaking gas anymore.

    @splash5974 4 роки тому

    Hey Steve, recently changed a needle and seat on a flooding Tecumseh carb. Next morning there was a nice pile of gas under the snowblower where the gas leaked out of the carb overnight. Checked to make sure everything was seated right, then noticed the plastic float was full of gas! Could hear it sloshing around. I needed the blower right away, so i drilled 2 tiny holes in the float to empty it out. Figured out that the floats are 2 piece units that have a seam running down the middle. Thats where it was leaking fuel inside. So i took my plastic welding gun and re-melted the plastic in the seam area and the 2 holes, and reinstalled. So far its holding up great! Lol
    Next time i see gas again, i will order a new float.
    But yes, the plastic ones can get full of gas inside them!
    Cheers
