I replaced the carb on my Snapper with a CV14ST Koehler.Leaks gas through the throat and pours out the carb.Put on another and same thing.Could it be cheap after market carbs.Seems I’ve heard that Snappers are notoriously bad about this issue.

Yes. Fix the needle and seats.

Snapper has ZERO to do with carbs and engines. Your new found info is totally false.

Here is some correct info to tell your friends about. Kohler is where to point your finger at for your carb issues.

You need to take the bowl off the carb and see if the float is free to rise as the gas fills the bowl. If it free then the problem is with the needle valve not closing and stopping the flow of fuel.

And you can't even do that if the OP is buying cheap Chinese clones.

New carb leaking gas

I replaced the carb on a Kohler CV14ST and it leaks through the throat and spills out of the carb. This is the second carb that has done this. They were both China carbs, but I find it hard to believe that both out of the box would leak. I would buy a Kohler carb but cant locate one. Anyone help?

Oh I got a few aliases I use just not on this forum. Most of them my customers call me when they are pissed at the bills. Or when my mother used to call me to dinner. I still came for dinner as it didn't matter what she called me I knew what she meant.
