Carb on Honda Clone leaking gas -- will cleaning carb solve this issue or do I need parts for the clone
Original Message   Dec 19, 2013 4:57 pm
The bowl on this 6.5 hp Honda clone is leaking gas. This is one of the blue $90 Harbor Freight 6.5 OHV engines. It has never given me any trouble as a transplant on this HS-520 snowblower. Last spring I drained the bowl at the end of the season. I was surprised when I filled the tank with gas today and found it dripping out (pretty fast) around the bowl o-ring gasket/seal. At first I thought I might need a new o-ring, but shouldn't the float and needle be shutting of the flow of gas the bowl before it starts pouring out? Do these clones take normal honda carb parts? Any suggestions on where I should start? The engine still starts up and runs perfectly, it just leaks gas bad. I cannot find a part number for a replaceable seat.
