Had my carburetor re-built on my tractor, the guy who re-built it said, because of the "different Gas" being made, he cannot guarantee it won't leak gas, even with new parts installed.
after a few weeks, I have noticed that the Carb is wet with gas on the outside, so it must be leaking gas,
the guy who re-built the carb, said I should shut off the gas every time I shut down the tractor, that seems to be a pain, just for a gas problem, never had to do that over the past 22 years owning a tractor.
