2005/2006 Ariens 926LE Carb Leaking

First off, I have to say that after using the snow blower for the first time on friday in 15" of snow it's awesome. The plume of snow was huge and caused a couple of my neighbors to stop snow blowing their driveways, they all have older Ariens, and watch. For those of you concerned about the controls on the newer models, they work flawlessly. However, time will tell as far as durability. My only gripe is that the lowest forward gear could be lower. I fealt as though it was a little too fast to be tackling the EOD muck.

OK now my problem, after finishing I fueled the gas tank up without turning off the fuel-line valve. Moments after finishing I noticed a steady stream of fuel out of the carb. I quickly shut the fuel line valve and the leaking stopped. What are possible causes/fixes for this? I didn't notice any gas smell while using the blower or when I opened the valve and primed it to begin using it. Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,
Nick
