Smelling Gasoline
 

After I shut off the engine of my 149, I smell gas until the gas evaporates. Is this a simple fix? It is the original carb and the engine runs great. Any suggestions appreciated.

Is it leaking gas? From your post it's hard to tell what, if anything is going on...we need some more details.

:BlahBlah::ScrewLoose: Ok, try this: shut off the tractor outside and let us know if that fixes everything.:Slap: Could a gas leak.:bigthink::ExtremeFunny:

If you have a gas problem, then you might try two cups of bicarbonate soda....that usually works for me.:ROTF1: Okay, just funnin'. My 149 had the smell of gasoline each time I shut it off to. I found out that the fuel line had a small leak in it. I didn't notice it until I ran the machine because I would always shut the fuel off at the petcock after each use. Check your fuel line to start with and see if you can find any holes at all. Best of luck!
