Pulled out the snowblower tonite. Bought it new last year, Airens with a 250cc briggs. Started up fine, ran for about a minute and died. Gas tank is full, pushed primer and fired right up. Ran another minute then died again. Smelled gas and looked by carb and gas was running out of it. Turned off valve on gas tank and it stopped leaking.
I'm not to handy when it comes to carbs. Could this be something simple or major carb repair? Thanks for the help. (It should be covered by warranty but it has to go to a authorized dealer which is an hour away. I'll take it to a local shop and pay them instead of the travel.)

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
