| I had one where I had to install 3 seats before it stopped leaking. Otherwise, you could have had dirt in the tank that prevented the needle from seating. Maybe you still do. |

| Carbs shouldn't need to be rebuilt after two years, unless the proper storage techniques weren't used. And even at that, there's a couple of things I always do after not using a unit for a prolonged period of time. Sounds like the 2nd cleaning solved your problem. You didn't mention the make and model of your motor, does it have a fuel filter ?
thanks, |
