In my first reply I asked you a lot of questions because we need to know what you have done, so we can work out what might be wrong.
Your response to the valve gap question was
You did not say that you don't know what it is or how to measure it your response was you did niot think it mattered then promptly ignored it.
I even went to the effort of explaining it in a subsequent post and you still ignored it.
The you pulled the motor apat again with out being to to do it and pronounced everything was all right despite the fact that you claim to have no mechanical knowledge so how do you know everything is OK ?
Next post you are making more adjustments to god only knows what on the carburettor which will make absolutely no difference to fuel accumulating in the muffler which by the amount of cranking you did could have been no more than condensation, we don't know because we are here and you are there.
You have come to here because you are in way over your head and drowing.
We all understnd that and are quite willing to walk you through the job one bolt at a time if necessary.
However in order fr it to work you need to do what you are instructed to do, nothing more, nothing less.
Just carry out some basic insructions and if you do not understand how or why then ask.
Engine diagnosis is a SYSTEMATIC process you start with easily measurable things like valve lash, magneto coil clearences, even valve timing marks then go on to more difficult bits.
But you have to do what you are instructed to, nothing else or it just will not work and you have just as much chance of getting it working as if you tipped your tool box out and locked a couple of monkeys in with the mower overnight.
The carburettor is a good example.
The only thing that stops the fuel pouring out of the carb, running down the manifold filling up the cylinder then pouring into the muffler is the float valve. That is it, the float valve, nothing more nothing less and nothing to adjust.
no screws, no levers, no springs. Absolutely nothing other than the float valve .
SO if you are told it is the float valve your responce is "how do I check it" ? and definately not
Floats rarely need to be replaced.
Float valves ( some times called needles ) do
And where possible the valve seat as well. but I don't think that carb has a replaceable seat, others will know for sure.
And if not replacable the seat needs to be cleaned and on some occasions a very light reface of the sealing edge.
Joining this forum will not do anything towards fixing your problems.
Carrying out the instructions you are given, to the letter, will.
If you don't know why, just ask we will be happy to explain. ( you might notice I actually tried to do that in my second responce )
Most of us like explaining why but most "customers" just want to get their engine running and don't seem to care about understanding what they are doing, they just want to mow their grass, yesterday.
There is no one here that gets their jollies by trying to belittle, humiliate or insult others, we are all here to help or to be helped.
As for the videos, stop trying to post them.
To a large extent they are a waste of your time making and our time watching.
A good large clear well focused well lit still image of the entire side of the engine where we can clearly see what is connected to where is 1000 times more beneficial than a dark fuzzy out of focus video .
So for instance a photo of the cam showing the timing marks would be good. some of them have more than 1 set of marks.
Another photo of the govenor & oil slinger ( paddle wheelie thing ) would be good.
A close up photo of the float valve would be great and if taken agaainst a medium grey or dull white surface it would be even better.
Then we can eliminate every possible cause of your troubles, one at a time till you are scooting around with a nice big smile on your dial.
The photos will also be handy for you to keep for refference because what is shown in the manual and what is on your engine sometimes look nothing like each other.

Well I would not have asked the quesion if it was not important to know the answer.
You did not say that you don't know what it is or how to measure it your response was you did niot think it mattered then promptly ignored it.

Obviously the carb is not good or it would not be leaking and if you did not know how to check it or fix it in the first instance how will you know what to do now ?
