I have a 5 hp tecumseh snowblower. Whenever I tilt it back fuel leaks out of
the top of the bowl. Last year I took the carb apart and cleaned it. The
gasket seemed fine to me so put it back and the problem seemed to go away. Now
the problem has resurfaced. It leaks only when I tilt it back. Its fine when
level.


pinched a fold or turn or crack
in the old fragile gasket ... my guess.
Don't force it tighter try a tiny bit of tightening
otherwise new gasket.
