Float has sunk in the bowl, the float tab is out of adjustment, or the float needle is not seating,shutting the fuel supply off to the carb after it has been filled.<br />You may avoid a teardown sometimes, by tapping gently on the side of the carb's bowl with a screwdriver handle,while the primer is pumped.<br />Then again,sometimes not.
