Briggs 12hp leaks gas from carb.
Briggs 12hp leaks gas from breather tube, throttle body piece, and every where else except bowl. Float seems to be functioning, I pulled every thing off and blew in the fuel inlet, then again with bowl up, and it was closed. rubber Breather elbow tube has a small crack in it, could this be causing it? Its a briggs 12hp vertical engine. Any ideas anyone

If the float is floating & the needle valve is going up& gas is leaking then the needle or seat is bad.

Yes
I took the float off and it was sloshing fuel
So I replaced it.
Problem solved.
