Almost sounds like my old Troy-built roto-tiller. Carb float don't float no more causing the carb to leak. The leak is only a drip and doesn't effect it running well. But since the tank is above the carb it leaks enough to siphon the half gallon tank dry over night. Put a petcock in the fuel line between the carb and tank. When not running close the petcock and not only does it not siphon off the whole tank, the carb even keeps gas in it. Just have to remember to open the petcock for the engine to run.

Note: A Petcock is a small shut-off valve used to control the flow of liquid or gas. The use of the term petcock is in no way intended as sexual or racial. I sincerely apologize if you were offend.
