I started to notice the smell of gas, so I took the motor cover off, and found one of the carbs leaking fuel out of the overflow (at least I think it's the overflow). In the attached picture, it was leaking from the hole between the 2 bolts, directly above the bowl drain plug. I pulled the carb off, cleaned it up, and put it back on. Instead of 'over pumping' the bulb, I just pumped it a few times, and tried a test fire. The starter sounded a lot better with all the power! She almost turned right over. Cranked the key again, and she fired up! Ran for about 2 seconds, back-fired, and stalled. After that, every time I tried to turn the motor over (2 or 3 more times), right as it wanted to start, it backfired, and shut off. So, could this be a result of the leaking carb? I've already ordered a rebuild kit for it, which should hopefully be here by Friday. But is there anything else I should be looking at in the meantime?

I'd look into your timing first thing. Verify it's where it should be.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
