Default Fuel Leak... Bad Motor?

I have a pro .15 and fuel leaks out around the start shaft, and makes the one way bearing slip. Then the ez start wont turn it over. I mean there is fuel dripping of the chassis when Im done running It.

Seal up the back plate. Get some high temp RTV silicone.

The backplate is sealed but it leaks between the bushing and starter shaft

Some people drill a small hole in the ez-start backplate so that they can shoot cleaner (wd40 works too) at the owb w/o taking everything apart. Or, you could replace the shaft and bushing. OR, there's always the OS.18CV-RX(s)-direct swap or the OS.18TM.

how rich is your engine. If its rich thats the cause.
Cleqn the owb/the crankshaft and apply owd grease.
