I boughta rebuild kit for the carb too, ran fine for years but now there is gas comming out the carb when i start it. The carbs float and everything is working fine, and the gas doesnt come out untill i pull the cord and turn it over.


I think this problem is more advanced then just the carb...

I think that the engine has a bad valve or somthing and when its suppose to compress it just blows the air back out into the intake, that would explain why gas keeps getting pushed out of the carb the wrong way out of the intake hole right?

There is a really stupid gaurd mesh screen thing that is blocking me from feeling if air is comming out of the carb, but if there is any at all, its not strong enough for me to feel it about 3 inches away from the intake, so what do you guys think?


Carb has been rebuilt too, tested float, works, carb looks like its in good shape too, not really busted up, so i don't see anything that could be obviously wrong....

sounds like your intake valve , check your clearances

Sounds like a stuck intake valve. Do a leakdown test.
