Carb is on page 5 and is a 697028.

I drained the old gas and put in fresh. I cleaned the carb, dropped bowl, sprayed gumout through everything. It will run fine as long as you spray starter spray into it. So I assume that means the spark is OK.

Gas runs out of hose when valve/petcock opened. Bowl has gas in it.

Is this definitely a carb problem? New one is 50.00. Any ideas?

Thanks

I would change the spark plug and air filter before a new carb, youll need them either way
