Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): spirit snowthrower float bowl overflows, piece of dirt, pinhole


Question
 

Answer
Hi Donald,

The float needle and seat may be stuck open by a piece of dirt.  You can remove the float bowl and clean them but it's best to replace with new parts.  Also check the float because if it it hollow brass, it may have a pinhole and could be taking on fuel.

Let me know how you make out.
