Bill,

Did you read the original post? The guy replaced the carb with new. Very
doubtful the carb was the problem in the first place. Guy probably wasted
his time and $$$ by replacing the carb, right?

Float level too high. Wrong jets.




Yes I read the post about new carb. And I have had stuck float in a newly
rebuilt carb, and the new carb could be jetted for a different engine. The
choke could be stuck or adjusted partially closed.
