I did a rebuild according to Mike's video like countless others I'm sure. My problem...way too much fuel. If I start dry, a quick shot of carb cleaner will get it to fire right up. I can keep it running about one minute before it dies. After a few more cranks to try and restart I have a puddle in the intake. I even backed off all tension on the accelerator pump so I wouldn't get additional fuel when I opened the butterfly to see what's going on. What's happening?
