"Hi, i have fuel leaking from

"Hi, i have fuel leaking from the engine (possibly the underside)it seems to happen when the motor is turned off after running, and a bit whilst running. It does not leak when the priming bulb has been squeezed I have replaced obvious leak in hose but cannot see where this leak is coming from, any ideas?
Cheers Kat"
 
"Fuel cut-off needle may be wo

"Fuel cut-off needle may be worn and engine vibration causes it to not seat properly, maybe? Or possibly gasket between carb and manifold or fuel pump and block is shot? Need to find where leak is coming from, if its from the airbox it could be the former. Run engine on muffs or in tank with the cover off and see if you can see fuel leaking when running and just after you switch off. Is it running fine?"
 
"Does this leakage take place

"Does this leakage take place with the engine still in the vertical running position, or only after running with the engine in the tilted up position?"
