I have a Kawasaki FC420V in a John Deere lawn mower. Put it away last fall...everything was OK. Got i t out today and see gasoline spurting out of a small hole on the side of the carburetor when the engine is running. The hole is just above and behind the fuel inlet hose. The hole is in a "boss" that is a part of the casting.
I have the exact same problem on a JD175 with the same engine--gas spewing out of a hole above where the fuel line connects on the back of the carburetor housing. There's a similar hole on the opposite (front) side of the housing. I'm told there are factory-installed plugs in both holes and the whole carburetor assemble will need to be replaced. Please post if you discover something different!

Hi there
You should not have oil leaking from the carby. If you have over filled it with oil, then it may be coming from the crankcase breather and then into the airbox, and appearing to come from the carby. If you have not over filled it, then the bike may have blowby problems with compression gasses passing the rings, and in a similar manner forcing oil out the crankcase breather. Not sure about the hole in the side of the cylinder... do you have a picture? Unless its pouring out, or gets worse, I would not be too worried. If you have over filled the oil, maybe time for an oil change to get the level right.

it sounds like your valve/rocker cover to spark plug tube seal is folded over or something. My reason for saying this is, because the only place for oil to get into the plug tube is a bad seal to the cover or the spark plug isn't tight? and that hole is for expelling liquid so it doesn't cook the plug into the head

There are two seals on the impeller pump. Replace the seals an the leak is stopped. Put in a new cover gasket as well.

The hole that your coolant is leaking from is a vent hole. Its purpose is mainly to give the airspace behind the water pump a place to expand into the atmosphere, and a place for the coolant to escape when the water pump seal goes bad. Every vehicle I can think of, if it has a water pump, its got a vent hole. So, what you are faced with is replacing the water pump with a new one (seals and individual parts are not available for the water pump on your Honda).
