Hi, need a little help. Motor starts but only stays running by squirting gas in carb. So I cleaned carb and blew out. reasemled. No luck. I replaced the top half of carb body with float assembly that I Knew worked...... no luck. Question is where is it plugged?

Will it stay running if you squeeze the ball?
If so verify the fuel pump is working.

I suggest you find the orifice plug ( high speed ) in the carburetor bowl.----Make sure it is clean.
