You can get a bowl without the drain.
Are you sure the float is set right? Maybe the gas is from the overflow hole.

I think the float is right. The engine starts easy and runs well. It just leaks gas all the time. I'll try the silicon seal and maybe look for another bowl.

Thanks.

The drain kit is p/n 27136A. A new bowl without the drain would be best.

DO NOT MESS WITH....silicon !!! Get the 27136A repair
kit.

JB weld works perfectly. Easy to.remove later if need be. Used many times to stop leaks in drain
