Im not sure about the gas leak but before you buy a new engine or pull start check to see if you can spin the flywheel freely, if not you need to check the coil gap. I broke a pull start and had a lot of resistance when trying to start and it was the coil gap that was stopping the flywheel.

well i have found out that the ps that comes on most of them fail quickly, mine did, the solution is to purchase a ps witht he collar around the pawl, without collar the pawl wil not always travel strate out it will cock to one side and jam and bend the tretaining washer on ps.. with the collar one the collar keeps the pawl from cockin over and keeps it strate , therefore no jamming and bending of retaining wsher. since i swapped to that style on mine its worked flawlessly ever since

So what is the brand of the pull start you found ?

don't recall, i just found one on ebay that HAD the collar molded onto the wheel, iit keeps the pawl from cockin over which is why the original fails. just look up ps's on ebay and make sure the one u buy shows a pic of the underside of it, so u can SEE the collar is on it or not. since i put the collared version on mine my ps hasnt had any more issues.
