Tractorpuller101,
Here's the picture:
Note: To upload pictures you need to resize them so they are less then 100Kb. I use a tool and resize them so the width is 640 pixels or less. You click on the paper clip in this text:

Hi TractorPuller101,
Please read the link below:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Small-Engines-Lawn-1746/Leaking-Carburetor-Tecumseh-Snow.htm
They are recommending you pull out the tube a little and apply JB Weld. Does that sound like the correct solution? Please let me know. Also note that they also tell you if that doesn't work that a new carburator is needed. If we can't figure this out from all the links we find, I'll ask you to post a topic on some good engine forums and we'll all learn.
Thanks

Thank you so much Michael. I found a PDF manual on one of the links you left. I think I found the problem!! I think my needle was upside down! |

| These might be silly questions, but are you both getting gas in the engine and getting a spark? Is the engine even giving a kick? I've found that as long as you have electrical working, if you can get gas in the carburator the engine will give a kick. If you have a gas supply problem on the gas, the engine kicks but will not keep going. |

So are you suggesting that I squirt some gas in the cylinder and put the spark plug in to try to get a kick out of the engine?
I think its getting spark because i took the plug out and it sounded a lot different. |
