I cannot seem to stop gas from leaking from the top of my bowl on the carb. Engine is a OH160. Any thoughts or secrets? |

That is a common problem. You might try getting a new o-ring for it. The old carbs on the Tecumseh engines are rough. I put a brand new carb on my last Tecumseh in a Swamp Fox. Sure made it run good. New cost is about $125. |

Thanks Brandon, what was the new carb model? |

I'll have to look around and see if I still have the box to that carb. It was somewhat difficult to find the model number for it. I ordered from a lawn and garden place in MN. I'll post back tomorrow with what I find. |
