Any small engine guys here? Snowblower issue
Went out to fire up the snowblower, and it turned over briefly then died. I tried for a bit to start it to no avail. I let it sit for a while and tried again, and now it's leaking fuel from the muffler area - a small spray when I try to start it, and a small pool if I lay the blower back.

I'd say it's flooded. Did you put fresh gas in?

Yep. Flux Capacitor is out. Need to change it. Pretty costly though

Check your fuel line to make sure it's not dry rotted if flooding isn't the issue.

hoses all seem fine. My dad did say he had the carb rebuilt last year before he gave it to me.

I suppose I flooded it, though I didn;t think I pushed the wet bulb more than 4 or 5 times over 5 minutes of trying to start it, then let it sit for an hour. It continues to leak gas each time I lay it back. I'd say it's leaked a half dozen tablespoons total.
And yes, it's a little pice of crap, but my dad gave it to me, and we only ever need it maybe once a year.

Does that say Fisher Price on the handle? They might have a manual on the website.
