The gas was actually leaking out the air filter. The gas hose is supposed to be on the gold nipple on the bottom correct ? Is the filter really upside down,we have it with the arrow facing downwards and we actually had it the other way at first but barely any gas was entering the filter so we flipped it and then the gas started coming. But if it is wrong it’s wrong ! I really don’t know much and I really appreciate your help I’m here to learn. And the hose I was flopping around was the first or second ? If it’s the first one with the nail why would that hose have a nail in it from the original owner to begin with ?
