I bought the generator a few years ago and had no problems with it since then. now it wont start and gas is leaking from the choke side of the carb into the airbox. I thought that it may have been flooded so i took the carb off and drained the fuel from it only to have it leak again after a few pulls to start it. im trying to avoid buying a new carb so im hoping there is an easy fix. if not a carb is cheaper than a new one. Any help would be appreciated!

Well I took the carb apart and fixed the leak now the damn thing wont start. im thinking the spark plug got wet i havent had to buy one yet is it something i can get at a hardware store or is it a specialty item?
