Leaking gas seemingly from where? The smart throttle is electrically controlled by a solenoid on top of the carb ... silly question, but do you have the smart throttle switch on? There are 3 LED's right above the choke ... what color is showing after you start it? Top green one should be lit. Since it does run, I doubt if the float is stuck. If the gas seems to be comming from the carb fuel bowl, there is a 10 mm bolt directly on the bottom of the bowl ... snug it just a little ... there is also a drain plug (10 mm) angled off the bottom of the fuel bowl ... snug it also. I've run my 3500ti for better than 100 hours with no worries ... if none of the above helps, I'd think a trip to the service center would be in your best interest instead of people (like me) shooting from the hip.

PS: If you have an Autoformer inbetween the Kipor and fiver, take it out of the system temporarily ... the Autoformer does strange things with the genset especially under high load conditions.
