Reply To: Too much fuel too fast

I think it’s an issue with the float valve in the carburetor. It could be worn or dirty allowing the fuel to flow right thru it when hooked up to the hose. The problem could also be caused by the float being heavy and soaked with fuel, stuck, or not set properly. These motors used a cork float and using gas containing ethanol will destroy the coating on the float which will then soak up fuel. Ethanol gas will also damage the fuel lines causing small pieces to break off which can get caught in the float valve and cause flooding. It might be time to take the carb off and install a new carb kit after cleaning it really good.
