Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh F3 carb on Ariens Snow Blower, gasket works, merry christmas and happy new year

Question
Hi there,
I have Ariens snowblower (model 932015, ser 006740) with Tecumseh 5hp engine and F3 diaphragm carburetor. It runs (sometimes erratically) only in choked position and when it dies, gas leaks from the bottom cover of the carb. Any ideas?
I recently changed diaphragm (1.diaphram 2. gasket 3. cover) and cleaned up nicely mating surfaces so I know gasket works.  

Answer
 Hello Adam:

 Remove and Disassemble the Carburetor and Soak Overnight in Carburetor Cleaning Solution (I use Gunk). Then Blow out the Passages with Compressed Air. The Jet is Clogged Up and Soaking is the Only Way to Correct this Problem. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks. Be Safe.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
