Hello I have a husquavarna yth24v48 with a 24 hp Briggs and Stratton Intek V-Twin engine

Recently when I start it will run for about 20 seconds, start to smoke a bit, runs rough and then stalls. I noticed gas in the pan under the carborator, took the carborator apart and it was absolutely full of gas. I cleaned it up and looked for leaking seals, but it seems fine. After purging the gas from the carborator it starts fine and will keep running. When I try to start a week later, same thing happens all over again. At this point I need to purge the carborator of gas every time I start.
 
I would put an inline shutoff on it. That way you won't get fuel in the crank case. As long as you shut it off every time you finnish mowing.
