When doing the condition inspection this week, one of the tests I did was to check that the engine would shut off by turning off the ignition switch which verifys the magneto grounding.
After the engine died, the carb started leaking gas through the air box. I could get it shut off by pulling back the mixture control. Moving the mixture forward again would start the leak back up. This happened several times and after running shutting of the engine a few times, the leak stopped and doesnt come back by moving the mixture forward again.
Wondered if anyone had encountered this scenerio before? I drained the carb afterwards and didnt see any contamination in the gas.
