Hello I Recently purchased a Honda Model-HRX217HXA Self Propelled Lawn Mower to do a bit of yard work for myself and others.
I had to purchase a new carb and all the gaskets after purchasing it... Now it runs Great, but I have a problem it leaks gas really bad if i am mowing side ways on a hill with the carb facing downward, It is coming from the small hole in the carb and I have never seen this happen before I thought that was just a air hole. The float does not seem to be sticking cause gas does not come out of the carb if on level ground at all... and I took the bowl off and let gas flow though the car, and then with my finger pushed up on the float and the gas stopped coming in... I have never seen this happen before the hole is above the throttle part, I have no clue why gas is coming out of there for at all it does not come out on level ground, just sideways on a hill with carb facing download.. in the photo it is the small hole top left corner right above where you put in the long screw to hold the carb in place
