Toro Small engine leaks gas
Is your Toro small engine leaking gas? Shut off the fuel supply and inspect the carburetor first. A dried-out or missing carburetor gasket is the most likely cause, especially when gas is coming from the bottom of the carburetor. The carburetor float bowl gasket or carburetor bowl gasket may also be worn, allowing gas to leak around the bowl. Stale or ethanol-blended fuel left in the carburetor is one of the most common root causes on seasonal equipment because it can damage gaskets and other fuel-system parts. If the carburetor is dry, inspect the fuel tank for cracks, then check the fuel line for splits, brittleness, or loose connections. A cracked fuel tank or fuel line must be replaced, not patched. Finally, examine the primer bulb for brittle rubber or cracks that cause a small engine leaking gas condition. These problems can appear as gas leaking from the carburetor, an engine fuel leak, or gas pooling beneath the engine. Enter your Toro model number to find the exact replacement carburetor gasket, float bowl gasket, fuel tank, fuel line, or primer bulb for your specific engine.

07 - Toro Carburetor
Over time, the carburetor may develop cracks due to the vibration and heat of the engine. If the carburetor is cracked, it will leak fuel. Inspect the carburetor for cracks or corrosion. If the main body of the carburetor is leaking, you will most likely need to replace the carburetor.
