MTD Snow Blower carburetor is leaking fuel. I'm guessing the float may be stuck. Could there be any other reason for the constant fuel leak? Also this snow blower is 20 years old. Should the carburetor be replaced or rebuilt at this age? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

This pretty much is one of three things, stuck float, worn needle and seat, or leaking bowl gasket. It is leaking around the bowl or is fuel leaking out of the throat of the carb?

If it's a continuos stream that's about normal if it's a Tecumseh engine. Lol

If it was stored with fuel in it for a long time, my bet would be on a stuck float. Usually that is easy to diagnose and repair.
