Default Carb on Tecumseh engine leaking gas

I have a 5 hp tecumseh snowblower. Whenever I tilt it back fuel leaks

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.

Replace the gasket. It may "seem fine" but it probably isn't. And it's
cheap.
