1997 Kitty Cat leaking gas
Hello all! New to the forum, and I've read through a lot of pages to see if there was a similar issue but couldn't find one. My sons 1997 Kitty Cat is leaking gas where the carb meets the engine (?). My son was riding it for about an hour around the yard and then he stopped, he hit the gas and it bogged and then died. I heard a bubbling noise from the motor but couldn't figure it out right away, so I let it sit for a minute, and tried to start it, but it wouldn't start, and white smoke was coming out of the muffler. I could still here the bubbling noise and then i was able to track it to the diamond looking piece on the carb where the carb meets the engine. When I shut the fuel off the bubbling stopped, and so did the gas leaking out of the carb. What could the issue be? It still turns over with I pull the recoil, but won't start, and is leaking gas. Is this a carb issue? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Flip

Re: 1997 Kitty Cat leaking gas
@snoeproe I just popped open my carb and the splash plate is loose and falling off on one side. Instead of removing should I just re-peen into place?
Not sure best way to do so, but what are pros/cons of keeping/removing?
Thanks!
Jeff
