Fuel from carb overflow

[dfkrug]

....we found a pinhole in the bottom of the bowl. Not sure if it was from a stone chip or corrosion, the inside and outside of the bowl looked new, slight dent were the pinhole was. Put a dab of JB Weld on the outside of the bowl and leak fixed.

Pinholes are quite possible, yes. I had pinholes in my sediment cup at
the base of my petcock assembly.

glad you found out the problem if the jb weld don;t work try useing a self taping screw and crew it into the hols to seal it."just a thought".

Something else to check:

Helped a neighbor clean up carb on his riding mower. Full of gunk because he didn't drain fuel / add Stabil in the fall.

After several assemble/reassemble and unable to stop a leak we thought was coming from the bowl drain, we found a pinhole in the bottom of the bowl. Not sure if it was from a stone chip or corrosion, the inside and outside of the bowl looked new, slight dent were the pinhole was. Put a dab of JB Weld on the outside of the bowl and leak fixed.

Good point I'll check the bowl too, thanks.

Any luck with the leak. I would use epoxy and just seal it up.
