Could someone give me an idea as to why I have gas leaking from the top carburetor. The engine started great and ran well. Then after I noticed gas leaking from the couling. When the gas line is hooked up the gas comes out of the top plate of the carburetor. Thanks for taking the time to consider this request. Harmony

Almost has to be

a float or needle and seat problem. Maybe a bad needle, or a float out of adjustment. I am not familiar with these, but there just isn't much there that can cause this.

I'm not sure what the problem is

but you may have an over pressurized gas tank. Try cracking the fill cap before making the connection. Joe S

your float is stuck on the top carb..

sometimes you can tap the sides of the carb to free it or sometime it may need to be taken apart for repair.
