Title: Jr Animal Engine
Post by: miketsmith on March 14, 2010, 07:27:55 PM
Has anyone with a Jr. Animal experienced the carb leaking out the bottom wether the gas is off or on, and the engine is shut down? No matter what we do the gas leaks. I have cleaned the entire carb, it runs fine but just wants to leak. The float seems to be working fine also.

Thanks,

We have not had that experience with gas leaking from the carb.  I leave my gas on during race day and we haven't had any leaks.

We haven't had that experience either and I haven't ever turned the gas off.

When we have a problem with a leaking carb that cleaning the float needle and seat does not help we replace the float needle and this will usually fix the problem. There are a few other potential possibilities to leaking fuel but almost always it in the area of the float needle and seat.
