I have a toro lawn mower. After a month of not using it, it first
would not start for a while, then, after 10 minutes of trying, a
trickle of gas started leaking through the filter (out of a thin red
pipe in the carb intake).
Any idea what it is. This toro has been giving me a lot of stupid
troubles over the years with one stupid thing breaking after another,
so at this point I am reluctant to invest any more of my time into it
unless it is something very simple.
thanks

Needle valve in carburetor bowel stuck. Easy and quick to fix for a small
engine repair person.

So, Do I take the bowl off to see that valve?

Yes, the valve is a plunger with a conical point attached to the float.
If you have any mechanical skills you should be able to look at how it
works, if not take it to someone who does.

I have OK mechanical skills, I fixed a couple of diesel engines,
etc. I just do not like this lawnmower any more. It just keeps
breaking and breaking (not due to poor maintenance). I will think
today if I want to spend more time on it or not.
