First of all,let us discuss the reasons cause a carburetor to leak gas.
There are several things to lead a leaking carburetor.On one hand,a loose fuel line connection is easy to correct by tightening the connection at the carburetor. If the leak persists, the connection fitting is probably bad and it may be time to replace the fuel line. On the other hand,there is a sticking float inside the carburetor bowl.This forces gas out of the sides of the bowl. If gasoline is dripping in the throat of the carburetor, the problem is most likely a ball check valve inside the carburetor body.
