Poulan Pro Lawn mower leaking gas
If your Poulan Pro lawn mower is leaking gas, start at the carburetor, because that is where most fuel leaks begin. A lawn mower gas leak or gas leaking from the bottom of the lawn mower is most often caused by a dried out or missing carburetor bowl gasket at the bottom of the carburetor. Next, check the float needle, since a damaged needle can fail to shut off fuel and let the carburetor overflow. After that, inspect the carburetor gasket for wear or gaps, then look closely at the primer bulb, which can crack and leak as the rubber gets brittle with age. If those parts check out, inspect the fuel shut-off solenoid and connected fuel lines for loose fits, cracks, or pinholes. A stuck carburetor float can also cause a mower leaking fuel problem by holding the valve open, and in that case cleaning the carburetor may help before you rebuild or replace it.

02 - Poulan Pro Float Needle
The float needle might not be shutting off the fuel. The float needle opens and closes the float valve to allow fuel to enter the float bowl. If the float needle is damaged, the carburetor will continue to fill with fuel until it overflows. If the float needle is defective, replace it.
