Where are these parts?

Question

The gas is spitting out of the carbeurator on my riding mower. I believe the problem is the needle and seat controls but I don't know where they are located and how to replace them. Any ideas or additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

They're inside the carb. You'll have to remove the carb and open it up to access them. You've probably got a float with a small hole in it which is holding the needle valve open.

Answer 2

Some times the float gets stuck,tap the carb with the handle of large screwdriver to see if it frees itself before removing it etc.

Answer 3

I think it would be a good idea to visually inspect the carburetor area and fuel lines. to find where the fuel is coming from before I did anything.
