I assume you are referring to the cap on the fuel tank. The cap has a vent hole so the tank will not create a vaccum as it delivers duel to the engine. If the tank is half-full or more, vibration caused by using the implement will casue the fuel to "splash" within the fuel tank and also "splash" out trhough the vent hole. Check the inside of the fuel cap to see if the diaphragm is worn or missing and replace the cap if necessary.
I already replaced the gas cap and it is still leaking.
Exhaust leak possibly...
It needs to be replaced.
No, seals are cheap, engines expensive.......
Dirty or stuck open needle valve in carburetor.
Inlet needle in carb sticking open; it runs in through the carb.
fill tank, to top of neck, watch the leak area, [don,t start it]
If you tilt the mower to get at the blade for sharpening, or go down a particularily steep slope, gas will run from the tank out through the filter.
If the vent is on the top of the cap, it would indicate that something is causing back-pressure inside the tank. Get it serviced.
I would start at the carb take the air filter and clean it .Then take the carb apart and clean it also might be stuck linkage. Good luck
By backing the choke out I assume you mean turning it off. If it stalls when the choke is off but runs while it is on then you have an air leak somewhere
There are products at your local auto parts store such as Epoxy Ribbon, JB Weld, and others that don't require heating you can use to patch the leak. Be sure and follow the directions on the package. You can't BEAT KENT'S ALL IN ONE.
Yes you can I have done on 2 different older lawn & garden tractors I own. As the tires age they can develop small side cracks that allow air to escape. Yet, the tire is basically still good with lots of tread. I went to tire store in our area and had them order and install a tube into the tire.
