Leaking from where? Was fuel leaking to the exterior of the carb? Mine seems dry.

Occasionally it will leak to the exterior, but mine was leaking down into the carb, thus dumping more fuel in it than it should be.

I'm not sure it is "rich" - - that's just what I'm calling it. It's just the exhaust smell you get when an engine is mis-firing, and loping to try and stay running...

The best way I can describe a rich smell, is that it smells a little more like gasoline than regular exhaust fumes would. It's not going to smell like gas it being poured out, but it will have a hint of that smell... if that makes sense, lol.

Okay, so that certainly could be my problem. I assume you are talking about the upper gaskets in the carb - not the carb to intake gasket?

Makes sense and yeah, I'd say that kinda describes it.

So, maybe I'll try and get all the identifying information off the carb tonight, and hit the parts store tomorrow. Maybe I'll pick up the fuel pump just in case. I can always return it.

Thanks Man.
