Sounds like the carb. float valve is not closing properly.Could be stuck or have some dirt in it.<br />Or possibly a bad float.You could try tapping <br />on the boss near where the fuel line goes in.<br /> Not too hard.

Hi, Doc.<br /><br />Not good Board manners to post the same question twice. It really annoys those who are trying to help.<br /><br />Do it once. Then be patient. I guarantee you will get your money worth.
