Carburetor fuel leakage is almost ALWAYS caused by a worn or damaged needle and seat.
I just replaced the needle&seat But it turned out to be a leak in the float. Remove the float and shake it next to your ear if you hear anything in there it's most likely fuel inside that will make the float sink.

A Toro 38435 is a snowthrower manufactured from 1997 to 1999.
To use starting fluid on a Toro snowthrower, locate the air intake. Remove the air filter cover and spray a small amount of starting fluid directly into the air intake or onto the air filter. Reattach the cover and attempt to start the snowthrower. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use starting fluid sparingly to avoid potential engine damage.
Well, this is an 8HP 24" snowthrower and has a 5 digit model that i think is 38053. See link below:
close to primer bulb... has cup shape design
To drain gas from a Toro S200 snowthrower, first ensure the engine is cool and safely turned off. Locate the fuel shut-off valve, if equipped, and turn it off. Then, place a container under the fuel tank, and use a siphon pump or remove the fuel line at the bottom of the tank to let the gas flow into the container. Be sure to dispose of the gas properly according to local regulations.
This is typically caused by a stuck or faulty float valve in the carburetor. Usually a good carburetor cleaning will take care of it. At the worst you will need to replace the carburetor.

The idle on a Toro push mower can be adjusted by turning the screw located on the carburetor. Turn the screw to the right to gain idle speed and turn the screw to the left to diminish idle speed.
