Wont Start, Leaking Fuel

My Troy Bilt TB225 2 stroke tiller won't start, and is leaking fuel. The fuel leak appears to be coming from the plastic fuel tank, but only when I try and start it. It doesn't leak when just sitting there.

Tiller: Engine leaking oil or gas

Oil leaks from a tiller engine can be caused by a leaking head gasket, sump gasket or oil drain plug. A loose or cracked fuel line can leak gas. A failed seal on the carburetor can also leak gas.

If the engine leaks oil, check the head gasket and replace that gasket if it leaks oil. Check the sump gasket if oil is leaking from the bottom of the engine and replace the sump gasket if it leaks. Tighten or replace the oil drain plug if it's leaking.

If the engine leaks gas, move the tiller to a well-ventilated area and check the fuel line. Reconnect the fuel line if it's loose and replace the fuel line if it's cracked. If the fuel line is okay, check the carburetor. Rebuild the carburetor with new seals and gaskets if the carburetor leaks gas. Sometimes, it's easier to replace the carburetor than to rebuild it.
