Small Engine Question - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Try to make this as short as possible.. I have an old Craftsman 3-20 snow blower that someone put out for the trash a few years ago. I picked it up, took it home, cleaned and fixed a few things, and got it going. Works like a champ. BUT - it has always leaked gas from the carb somewhere. Rebuilt the carb, all new o-rings and gaskets, new throttle shaft, new fuel line, etc. If I don't run it clear out of gas every time it will leak everything out til the tank is empty. Getting tired of cleaning 2 stroke gas off my garage floor. I'm out of ideas. Probably something stupid I have completely missed? Ideas?
