I have a Troy Bilt Tuffy tiller with a Tecumseh engine. I have had it since 2000.
We moved in 2009 and as part of the movers requirements I ran it out of gas.
Finally today (2016) I put gas back in it for the first time. It started within four pulls and is running well.
However, after a minute I noticed a slow drip of gasoline coming from the air filter.
I pulled the air filter off and noticed that there is a small black rubber hose with nozzle in the top left of the carburetor.
It is squirting gas out in a small steady stream and position of the choke does not seem to affect it.
I would like to repair it myself. Any tips as what I need to replace on that?
Thank you.
the float valve isn't sealing off and stopping the flow of fuel.. Will need to remove, clean and install a carb repair kit. Post model numbers of engine and we can help you select the correct parts.
