I posted about this a while back. I rebuilt this Marvel Schebler carburetor and it starts leaking fuel out of the air intake when I turn the fuel on. I have tried 3 different floats. As per advice on the previous posting I installed another new needle and seat and dropped the float level to 5/16. I installed the carburetor and it still leaked. I removed the carburetor, removed the float bowl and filled It full of fuel. No leak. I fastened the carburetor top upside down to the fuel line. No leak. It would flow if I held the float open. I don't see any cracks in the carburetor. The bowl gasket shows full contact so I don't think it is warped. I can hear the float move when I roll the carburetor over in my hands. The carburetor is cast iron. TSX 706. I have successfully rebuilt several of these Marvel Schebler carburetors. This one is kicking my butt.
If I have to replace the carburetor where is the best place to buy one? Would a Zenith be a better choice?
