Your float chamber needle valve is stuck
and the float is not rising to close the valve
(works just like a toilet shutoff)
At $750 you got ripped off royally!
You can buy brand new HS4's for that price.
Actually, closer to just under $425
including s/h you can pick up from Bill
at Midel Pty Ltd out of Australia.!
