Here’s how to troubleshoot a leaking carburetor!

The only video that explained the vent which was my problem. Gasket blocking it. Thank you sir.

Many thanks blake ive had issues with my carb leaking out fuel on my homelite jet washer for a couple of years, 1st time i stripped it i used gasket sealant and unknowingly obviously blocked the air bleed which you pointed out in your video, free'd it up and bingo its running fab now.. many thanks 👍

Wow this is the best explanation to what’s going on with the vst needle and airlock issue for my Yamaha outboard . Thanks will be trying the test

thank you so much,i couldn't figure it out i changed the gaskets and the studs but again leaked,i opened the carb i found the float was upside down 😂

Thank you so much for including the air vent issue. I am about to try and figure out why the new carb I got for my neighbors mower is leaking gasoline and I would have been stumped if it doesn't end up being the needle seated improperly. Excellent info.

Well explained and great way to test the needle valve. thanks for the video!

Thank God thank you brother holy crap I was 40min away from taking a hit out on my generator. Couple hard pipe hitting ....to go to work on the homs with a pair of pliers and a blow torch....!

If you’re not a mechanic type person then get a aftermarket one and change oil and filter

Good stuff - simple easy to understand

Thanks for the suggestion of checking the vent hole on the carb. I have been frustrated with leaking fuel on a 2 stroke ATV. I can't tell you how many times I have removed the carb, checked the bowl, adjusted the movement of the bowl by bending the tabs, changed the needle and seat and just been resigned to shutting off the fuel at the tank when not running. I have gotten to the point where I purchased a new, China carb and will eventually do a swap, but the puzzle of the fuel leaking still challengers me to find a solution. Maybe the vent hole was the problem all along. Thanks.

So many reasons to keep the engine clean and oil changed regularly

Im dealing with a carb that was overflowing no matter what. I tested everything and found the float has gas in one of the sides. New one on order. Im hoping it solves the problem. Runs great otherwise. Plug shows rich condition.

Thanks for your video, i found that the float was full of gas, idk how it managed to get in but i was

Thank you for the video

Thanks Blake :)

I have a Nikki carburetor but has shut off thing on th bottom of th cup can that be th same problem I'm having or is mine a different problem cause it has a different shut off

Great explanation, but you say “ah”, “a” and “um” so often it’s extremely distracting and annoying.

Another great British invented product
