The carb. on my SMTA has been leaking a good while- yes, I have had a new carb. kit installed 3 or 4 yrs ago, but the running improved, but the leaking didn't stop. I try to stop the waste of gas by turning off the cutoff valve at the sediment bowl, but it only slows it down. A new assembly on this website is $16.00. Bates Corp. charges $30. I don't know about CIH.Once there was a discussion about sediment bowl assemblies, and someone was claiming that you get what you pay for. Is that really true, or is someone just a CIH employee trying to get into our pockets? Thanks for any help you can provide.
