Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hello I hope one of the experts can help me. We have a Toro snowblower 7/24 Model 38050 that we bought new back in 1981 I believe. It has been a work horse all these years and almost problem free until now. It leaks gas from the carb BUT I can stop the leak by using the shut off valve.

 I did the following: I replaced  the inlet needle - seat- clip and clip, float and also a new gasket around the bowl. Well it still LEAKS gas.

 I gave up on it for now and just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I installed the new seat in wrong? I made sure it went up all the way is that right? I cannot see anything else that would cause  this problem unless I have the wrong parts in??? I used a kit 631920 for the inlet assmb'ly.  Anytthoughts would be most helpful, I still can use it but will have to use the shutoff after I finish each time.
