Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): GC160 honda motor, troybilt tiller, gas leaks


Question
I have a brand new one I put on an older troybilt tiller. Gas leaks from the carb area. What could be the problem? The way the tiller runs it puts the motor on an angle about 15 degrees.
THanks

Answer
Hello Lewis:

>>The Carburetor Float Needle Valve is Not Seating Correctly or the Float May Require a Slight Adjustment.
>>Is it Leaking and Flooding the Engine so it will Not Run Correctly or Leaking and Flooding the Engine when it is Not Running?
>>Can you Send me a Picture of the Unit so I can See the Carburetor with the Engine at the Angle the Engine Sits, Please?
>>You should Not have Any Problems with the Carburetor Until the Tilt is About 30 Degrees.
>>Thanks.
