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.

Thanks guys - I checked my manual & the seat SHOULD be installed with the "rings" side inserted FIRST. I doubt thats the problem, as I have installed them upside down & the float still seats ok...

I just get concerned about snapping the bolt or bolts as it is 25 years with not being taken off.  But will give it a try when it get warmer.

I lost my original manual for this toro 7/26, Model 38050, I see that some of you have the manual? Any way if I pay for a copy would someone be kind enough to make me a copy?? It would help  so much, I have all my other ones but a few years back I think it was moved in the garage and I have been searching ever since.

Can any one help with a copy  of a manual for my 7/26 #38050 snowblower? IIf anyone can copy at least the carb info and pictoral if any I will pay for the copies. If anyone can I will give a PO Box they can send to.

Ray - go to www.toro.com & have your model & serial numbers handy. Sometimes they're free, but if not they are cheap. I have a link for a Tecumseh manual that I will PM to you later when I get to work (I don't have it handy)

Marty

Ray - you have a PM with the link...
