I have a troy built mower 5.5 hp Tecumseh. It was dripping gas out the
carb. I removed the carb. Replaced needle and seat. Cleaned
it(spray/rinse/air)and replaced gaskets.
It does not have a carburetor adjustment screw. The engine smokes (runs
rich). Just a red primer blub on the side. What went wrong? How do I
adjust the carb?



It is adjusted by the level of the float. The higher (lower when you
have it upside down on the workbench) it is the richer it will run.
