Hello all, I have been battlei g a leaking carb for a few weeks now, but don't seem to be able to put it to bed. This is an older gx240, that I bought used, about twelve years a ago, and is used on my log splitter. It runs great, but if it doesn't sit level, it weeps gas around the bowl. I recently ordered a gasket kit thinking that would be enough, and while refurbishing it, I found the needle valve didn't seat properly, allowing air to blow past( I blew into it via clean gas line). I thought maybe that was the problem, too much gas and it found a way out when tipped. However, I cleaned the needle and seat, which allowed it to sit, and close properly. I replaced all the gaskets, and it still leaks. Very frustrating. Any ideas of what I can do to fix this? I'd rather not buy a new carb, but at this point, I am of sure there is any other option. Hope I was clear in my description. Thanks
