Default Riding mower doing weird things...

(Xlar54) wrote in message . com...
Riding along, things were fine...then stop. Started again, and died.
Noticed much white smoke. After looking closer, gas was coming out of
the air filter like crazy. Disconnected the gas filter from the carb,
letting the gas drain out. Took out the air filter, cleaned up, went
ahead and changed the oil, checked the plug. Nothing seems wrong.

Then I put the gas filter back on, and saw the air filter chamber
start to fill up with gas again. Help! What causes gas to come out of
the air filter chamber? I just got this thing fixed - am I doomed to
bad luck this year?


Needle jet is sticking in your carb. You probably also have your oil
full of gas. Clean carb and change the oil. Don't run it until you
have done it.
