    Carb float out of adjustment, valve tip stuck or worn. Post on how you adjusted the floats; level and drop so we all know where we stand maybe?

    Yes the floats have to be set to specs as per your manual; when upside down they have to be level and drop has to be so they don’t touch the carb body-the spring makes sure the pin operates properly. Clean them and blow them out with compressed air.

    Yeah, rust=bad news in or on anything. But you may have to REALLY clean the entire fuel system now cause a particle the size of a grain of sand or even smaller can block carb passages from functioning correctly
