706

On the carb on my 706 it drips out of what i thing you guys refer to as the weephole about once evey 5 sec. if not running with gas turned on and about once a min with it running. Was wondering if there is something i should replace or what the fix is to this probelm..Any input will be greatly appreciated.. thanks guys..

Needs a needle and seat I would think or the float might be sticking or it could be bad.

Hey Morris, got it running huh. I would confer on that it most likely needs a needle and seat to cure dripping when not running, but, it concerns me that you say it still drips while running. Any gasoline should be fueling the engine at that time, making it smoke black if it is rich and not coming out of the drip hole.. Are you sure it isn't leaking externally from the electric shut off or is that is replaced with an adjusting needle, the packing on that. Too hot to work on it now anyway.
