The float is stuck. This can be caused by the needle and seat being crudded up from the evaporation of the fuel in the carb or other debris. The only cure I know that works every time is to get a carb kit and some carb cleaner, tear it down clean it very thouroly. reassemble and adjust to the specs provided with the kit. Cautions: There are little rods, springs and check balls in this carb. They all need to go back where they came from. I do tear downs on a cookie sheet so I don't loose anything. The instructions that come with the kits include guages to adjust float open level and full of fuel level, choke kick etc etc. With an afternoon and carefull work it will run like a champ, as long as this is the only problem. If there is not a kit available you will need to tear it down and clean it then reassemble using all the old parts. Dificult to get these apart without damageing the gaskets sometimes. The less technical solution is to get a rebuilt from your local parts store. Last one I needed wasn't available anymore. Good Luck. |
