Troy-Bilt Lawn mower leaking gas
If your Troy-Bilt lawn mower is leaking gas, start at the carburetor. The most common cause of a lawn mower gas leak or gas leaking from the bottom of the lawn mower is a dried out or missing carburetor bowl gasket. Next, check the float needle, since a worn needle can fail to shut off fuel and let the carburetor overflow. A bad carburetor gasket is another likely source, especially when fuel is leaking from the bottom of the carburetor. After that, inspect the primer bulb for cracks or brittleness, then check the fuel shut-off solenoid and attached fuel lines for leaks. If those parts look good, the carburetor float may be stuck open, which can often be fixed by cleaning the carburetor or, if needed, rebuilding or replacing it. Whether you are dealing with a Troy-Bilt mower leaking fuel, a carburetor leaking gas, or a steady lawn mower leaking gas after shutoff, RepairClinic.com can help you match the problem to the right part.
