Leaking float screw?
Original Message   Nov 19, 2008 6:37 pm
I have a leak that appears to be coming from the screw under the float on my snowblower. Ariens ST824

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it?

Not sure what the motor is. It's a transplant.

But it appears to me that it leaks where the screw,with a spring on it, enters the bottom of the float bowl.

How about a couple picture?

There should also be a gasket type washer on that screw between the spring and the bottom of the float bowl.
