Older Landmaster LM 650 Fuel Problem

[Ed Michael]

My older LM 650 is blowing fuel into the air cleaner.  Any idea on what would cause this?  It is the Suzuki motor.  Not sure what model year it is.

Thanks

Check your crankcase oil level, if it is too full then that means that your carburetor is leaking fuel into the engine when it is not running.  Your carburetor is overflowing to fix that adjust your needle and seat so that the fuel flow stops when the carburetor bowl is full.  The reason for gas being in the carburetor air box is that the crankcase breather is trying  to re-leave pressure because the crankcase too full (gas and oil).  Fix the carburetor problem and then change the oil.

Motojoe----I have to partially disagree with you on this one. That engine ( problably an EH65 ) has a 12vdc fuel cutoff which eliminates the float abd needle situation. That is on a two barrel carb. I'm not familiar with the single barrel.

OP needs to be more specific. Ed is this happening all the time or when running or when turning off? First thing is you need to take the seat belts out of the air cleaner. Lol..... That won't fix your problem! Describe in detail and how long this has been happening. Is the carb a single barrel or twio barrel.. We'll try to help `you.
