Hi, I read some good posts on this forum about this same issue but had a few questions about carbs leaking. Can anything with the engine cause carbs to leak or spew gas from side vent hole? 1974 HS-50 Engine I rebuilt had the original carb which I cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner and rebuilt with genuine TEC carb kit like I've done many times. It ran like crap and couldn't get carb to adjust at all with slight gas leaking from choke side not vent hole. I had 2 new chinese carbs that were from same company I've used many times with decent results. Both shooting gas out of vent hole, not leaking but like pulsating gas out of hole. I find it hard to believe the genuine and 2 new chinese carbs would all leak and why I ask if engine can cause this. It doesn't seem logical to me but didn't know if something like back pressure, etc from engine?
Not sure if it matters but running engine with air cleaner off? Use only 4 cycle fuel from Home Depot / Lowes in my engines.
Thanks in advance
