First locate where the gas is leaking from. Is it from the carb overflow? Is it from the petcock and running down the side of the hose to the carb body? Is it leaking from the bowl as in a bad seal? Is there a crack in the hose or maybe the hose is not sealing around the nipple... caarb isnt leakin...

well the float has to be in right side up because the flaot pin attached to it pointy end down and it does attatch to it so.........

Greetings: Sure-enough there's a spec and measurement in the FSM, but the PA carb float lacks the bendable metal tab that lets you adjust it. If it's out-of-spec, replacement is the only option. Occasionally it's assembly error. It is frightfully easy to get it wrong. Usually the problem is in the ...

You need to check if your float bowl is filling up with gas. See attached photo. When you put your carb back on, hopefully you installed a drain tube. Put a pan under your Spree and open the drain * a few turns. If there is no gas in the bowl, that's your problem. Since the petcock is vacuum-actuat...
