WD Carburetor Leak

Hi All,
I have a WD with the Zenith carb that runs like a top but has started leaking gas from the bottom of the carb. The leak appears to becoming from the air intake drain plug (according to the parts manual) but might be from somewhere else on the engine side I can't see. I guess my only option is a rebuild? Any tips on the carb jet settings to get it started again after the rebuild? Would I be better off buying a rebuilt? Your experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Glen, it'll be a few days before I get back out to the acreage.
Where abouts are you located?

I'm up in the TX panhandle by Friona. I keep some of the carb kits and parts and can get most of the others in a day or so but some can take longer from factory. Usually a good cleaning & kit fixes them up.

Rebuilt carburetors are no better than the ones you rebuild yourself if you do a thorough cleaning job and buy the rebuild kit that includes the needle and seat. Some guys call a rebuild kit one that is only new gaskets.

As for the leak, you don't say if this leak occurs when it is sitting or when it is running or all the time. I agree with everything that acd17toy said if your leak is when it is sitting and not running but when it is running it seems OK. Usually it is the float (adjustment) and the needle and seat. Rebuild kits are available for about $25.

If it leaks when it is running, the problem could be the same but it might not. Never seen one of these carb bowls crack but I suppose it could. Should be able to visually find that. That plug isn't in the air intake. It is in the bottom of the gas bowl. It might be loose or have a thread problem.

the float in the carb is sticking or a piece of dirt is in the needle valve . tear the carb apart and clean the needle valve and the rest of it useing plenty of carb and choke cleaner.check the float level for correct setting and reassemble the carb.
