first of let me thank everyone who has helped me on my project lawnmower

i started of with a junker from the side of the road that didnt even start and now she purrs like a kitten after a piston/valve clean, carb clean, spark plug clean. but now a problem has arose, its leaking gas!

last night i put almost full tank in and this morning when i pulled out the mower there was a big wet stain under the mower and the tank was almost empty but no gas was on the deck.

i think there is a small hole (pin sized) in the fuel bowl could that be it. plz help
thanks

Could be. Needle/seat and float good?

Check the oil level in the engine and if it's overfull and smells of gas, then the carburetor is likely flooding fuel into the engine and crankcase. If the float bowl is leaking there should be some indication of fuel on the deck.
