carbs tend to leak when trimmed up do to gravity. Are you choking the motor before you start it? Sounds like a stupid question but most people dont know that pushing the key in will engage the choke.

Autozone sells a spark tester or you can do it by taking the plugs out of th ecylinders and grounding the tips and crank. You should get a healthy snap and the spark should be blue. Best to test in a garage or dark area. A spark tester would be better for you can set how far you wan the spark to jump which is a good indicator of how strong the spark is
