I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

Very good YouTube on how to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eYwatched it a few times and had no trouble. Go ahead and buy the gasket too, it is easy to replace when you change the grease.

If the fuel has gone bad then you need to drain and replace with fresh fuel. That point on I would recommend using Lucas to keep the rest of the fuel system clean.

Yes, the yellow gasket fits at the bottom of the canister which has a grove to take it. It replaces the original red gasket. That should normally fix a leak or stuck canister.

I have not had any problems that require repairs. I did, since I only have 2 hands, figure out how to depress the fuel lever and pull the starter cord. I use a heavy duty rubber band to hold it down while I pull the starter cord.

My recommendation is to call a local supplier of gas. They should be able to explain how or suggest a technician you could call.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

First, check the fuel filter- that it's attached to the end of its plastic tube.Second, chuck the iffy "Torch" spark plug, and replace it with NGK BM7A (slightly colder also). They should handle it.Third, get a Poulan splined carb tool & adjust carb. Or, find a dealer who can do that (lotsa luck there.) Better, a friend.Once it's right, get a quality chain 62DL .050" ga. 3/8"LP. Oem chains are SOFT.

Mike: that can be 3 problems: Float set to high, to many pumps on the primer or a bad gasket.To set the float: take the carb out of the engine, remove the bowl and with the carb upside down the float should be a little bit up from level. ckeck on youtube for a video on how to do it.Try to start the engine with only 2 pumps on the primer.If still leaking send it back.Hope you fix the problem.Marcelo.

Directly from the company. Give them a call. Fast & efficient. I did not secure mine properly and it must have fell into the can and been tossed out.

Be sure you shake the can and remove the blue lock tab at the back (side opposite the nozzle). Point the nozzle at the stain and squeeze the trigger. If nothing happens it appears you have a defective can and you should contact Amazon for a replacement.

I bought 2 of the cans, and yes they will leak, just like all other plastic nozzles. If I could make a recommendation to B&S;, it would be to produce the can with the old military lock on nozzle like we had in the military. Also, the can is awkward to hold with 1 hand and turning the nozzle with the other so the fuel will flow out, when it has 5 gallons in it.

I agree with both answers from 2/12/15. A clear ID. of the location of the leak will help to determine if what is need is a simple patching repair or the change/replacement of a part. J.P Delgado

Cut on the "ON" switch. If you tried to crank it with the switch "OFF", its flooded. Remove the sparkplug, replace it after about 15 minutes, then start the cranking procedure again. Be sure the switch is "ON", pump the gas bulb a few times (be sure the bulb is full of gas), pull out the choke, and pull the crank briskly, not too hard.

I had a similar problem with a Bunn. It was a bad gasket. Question is: How bad is the leak? If it is mild, I would not worry about it. If you are having to clean up a large mess each time I would look for someone who services this make of machine.
