Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman Pushmower

Question
MR. JONES I HAVE A CRAFTSMAN MOWER MODEL 247.37010 WITH A 5.50 HP. BRIGGS AND STRATTON ENGINE. ENGINE NUMBER 9P602-0007-F1 2011 YEAR MODEL. I TRIED TO START ENGINE BUT GAS IS LEAKING FROM CARBURETOR BOTTOM OF BOWL. THE O-RING LOOKS GOOD BUT STILL LEAKS. DO THEY SELL A KIT FOR THIS CARB? ALSO CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE INTAKE AND EXHUAST VALVE SETTINGS ARE FOR THIS ENGINE. THANK YOU, FRED.

Answer
The inlet needle/seat may be leaking or the float could be bad.

They sell a rebuild kit (part 590589) but it does not come with a float.  Most of the time the floats are fine but I had one leak and fill with gas this past summer.

Valve clearance is .005 / .007 inch for both valves.
