I have a toro lawn mower. After a month of not using it, it first
would not start for a while, then, after 10 minutes of trying, a
trickle of gas started leaking through the filter (out of a thin red
pipe in the carb intake).

Any idea what it is. This toro has been giving me a lot of stupid
troubles over the years with one stupid thing breaking after another,
so at this point I am reluctant to invest any more of my time into it
unless it is something very simple.

thanks
