gas leak 61 10 hp evin

[longhornation]

got the motor started today. It had been sitting for over year. I noticed when i pumped the ball on gas line that a few drops of gas was leaking out of the clear bulb on bottom side of carb. when the motor was running it was also leaking in the same place. The motor would also hiccup at low speed. I could see air bubbles at the same location of the leak. any advice?

There's a gasket between the carb body and the glass bowl. Yours may be damaged. Replace it and you're golden. I don't have the part number handy for that model.

#63 in THIS DIAGRAM? That's part number 303122 but if its only a fiber washer you could probably find something to fit without buying an official part

thanks guys...does the plastic nut or yoke underneath the filter bowl need to be snug tight or a little tighter? It wasn't very tight at all
