Let me first say that I'm a completely clueless when it comes to engines in general. Having said that, I'm in a pinch with a snowblower that I think is an easy fix yet I don't know what to do.
The problem started when I filled my snowblower with gas. After a few minutes, it started to leak near the carburertor. I've removed the cover and have the carb exposed. I pulled the float bowl out and gave everything a healthy dosing of carb cleaner. When I reatached and put some gas in, I found that it was leaking above the float bowl.
If you look at this
diagram: the gasoline is pouring out the nozzle, tip or whatever right above the item marked 11. If you follow the diagram up, you'll see an unmarked part above this number 11.
Now, again totally proving my screen name, there is some random hose that is no longer connected on one end. I'm curious if this drip point is where a hose would be attached?
Any and all help would be appreciated. Sorry I'm a total hack.
