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 |

I'll find out when they bring it back tomorrow. I just talked to the dealer on the phone.

Solara - The float had a hairline crack in it so it was replaced. 70 Cheverolet - I remember and prefered the metal ones so you're dating both of us =^) |
