Is it a Nikki or walbro on there now? The carb is not shutting off or sealing. Nikkis have a gasket and can get pinched or not even have an o-ring where they should and leak into the throat all day long.
Somebody swapped wrong carb or listed wrong numbers in carb listing. About any of them will work but if it is right one for engine numbers it will have solenoid or not have it like old one did.
If you have a solenoid then you have to have 12v to it when cranking and key on or it won't run.
You can put bolt from old carb if it fits to eliminate it if need be or cut the tip off at many do ....ashame to ruin a good one though. They use to be 68.00!! The BIGGEST RIP OFF in mower parts...Now they are 9-13 and come with 20.00 carbs.
Ahh, the good 'new' days...kinds. Lol
Often a new carb can have a piece of plastic or a fuel line piece will get in there and hold needle valve open.
You will have to remove bowl and take off float pin and float and needle and blow out seat and wipe off tip. I use q-tip in seat but MAKE SURE no fuzz gets left behind. I use carb spray then air after that.
If you see ANY black rubbery specks....replace the fuel line all the way from gas tank.
