Mystery gas leak???

[smoothj3]

On my Husqvarna YTA18542 riding mower, I cannot figure out what this part circled in the picture is? Also there is gas leaking from this part so does anyone know how to replace or fix this gas leak?

Thanks,

That is the anti-afterfire solenoid If the gas is leaking from the bottom of the bowl and the gasket between the solenoid is leaking and just need to replace the gasket. If it is leaking from the electrical connector then the internal seals are leaking the solenoid will need to be replaced. The solenoid just unscrews using a thin 1/2 inch wrench.

With having a hex it is very possible it is a 12mm.

Thanks I ordered the replacement and will be an easy fix.
