(Click picture to view the full image) We are looking at an older Briggs and Stratton push mower carburetor, the metal carburetors. I was stumped for a while as to why it was siphoning gas past the needle valve. I didn’t want to remove the gasket that was covering this port out of fear of tearing it because I didn’t have another one ready to go. Long story short I finally removed it and cleaned up the face of the carburetor exposing this clogged port, the clog was the same color as the gasket making it invisible to me. Turns out that this port is not only the port that the primer bulb squirts air in to fart gas into the intake for a cold start. It is also the air vent that breaks the siphon that occurs if this port is compromised. If you are currently stuggling with this you are welcome! 😂 I hastily posted a short about this and then moments after edited the short noticed the problem. 😅 youtube.com/shorts/qy4nJjOV8O...
