carb leaking gas on big red

[neil]

Im no mechanic but my buddy cleaned my carb for me last year and its leaked a little gas ever since.Is there a gasket in there because it seems to be comin out the seams and a little around the hoses.ive been turnin the gas off at the tank to keep it from leakin out when not in use:lol: .any sugestions?I took it out today for some fun in the snow,i was trying to take a huge hill behind my house and could only make it3/4 of the way up.I took another run at it made it a little farther came to a stop and did a perfect backwards sumersalt,luckily they dont weigh much.I think i should ask for a helmet this christmas!:lol:

He might of bent the float in the carb or you need a new needle and seat. But thats just my two cents. Alex

your float pin may be worn (forget name think it's needle) best thing may be to order a rebuild kit for it off ebay that includes the float. they run about $16+shipping for the compelte kits.
