i just filled my blaster w/ 2 gallons of gas and when i turned the gas on, it wouldn't stop leaking. does it have too much gas, or does the float level need to be adjusted?
 
clean your carb, float maybe is sticking or the little torpedo looking thing attached to it may need replacing, start with the clean though...
 
this happened to someone i know he just started it and gave it a shake like tipping it from side to side for a bit and it stopped i think it was the float sticking but it did the trick
 
the float was sticking and it is way out of specs, i don't have the tool to check but i used a ruler. how should i adjust it? it says to bend the little tang in the middle, but it doesn't seem to help. actually, i just installed it again and the same thing happened. i shook the f*ck out of it and it did not work. i just stared into space as the gas (and my cash) poured out onto the floor.
