I have a problem that I'm in need of help with. The motor runs and cranks right up, how ever while running I see gas spitting out from the carburetor. It also have the motor running very sluggish. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks....

I have same motor. Make sure it has a fuel filter and that it is clean, mine ran the same way when main jet is clogged up.Turn off gas, remove fuel bowl then the jet in center, my guess it got dirt in it. good luck

Where exactly is it expectorating the fuel from? There are many places a carb could hack gas.

A the top of the carb there two fitting, one on the left and one to the right. The gas is spitting from the one one the right...

Sounds like your float is stuck. Is this a 2 barrel carb?

If it is search HammerDownDyno on youtube to find my video on how to clean it.

Took carb off and did a good cleaning, didn't find anything that I think would have caused this problem. Reinstalling and hoping it works out for me.
