So I go out the other day, start the ole' ET2. Fires up fine, then within a minute dies. Try to start it up again with the electric start...nothing, try the kick start, again nothing. I smell a little gas, take out the bucket and try to start it while looking at the engine. As I'm pressing the electric start I notice gas coming out the side of the carburetor. Now I'm no ratchet head, but I know that's not good. So any thoughts to what the culprit is? Could it possibly be the fuel tap? The carb was recently rebuilt, so I'm surprised there's a problem, but one thing I have learned about an ET2 is, never act surprised!
Enclosed a picture of the carburetor and arrow pointing where the fuel was coming from. BTW did remove spark plug, looked fine, no fouling whatsoever.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
