Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have a 97 toro 824 power shift, it needed a tune up so I put a carb kit in it and put a new bowl on as well. I've got it running great but when I shut it off it leaks gas. It is leaking gas were the bowl and carb connect. I've put 2 new gaskets on it and it still doesn't work, do I need a new float or new needle and seat or just a brand new carb? I'm out of ideas on what to do Thanks Neil

Another thing to check is the float itself.  Take the float off and shake it.  If you hear any fuel sloshing around inside the float replace it.  A float with a leak will always make the carb leak.
