Fuel flows straight through to overflow outlet

[DebraDianne]

Hi everyone, my fuel seems to go straight from tank to the outlet overflow tube and I don't know why? I have an Ariens ride on mower with a Honda GV400 11 hp motor .

You will need to clean out the carb, check the float valve and seat, and also the float.

Oh OHHHHH, cleaned the carby and checked everything, there was so much corrosion muck in there it was disgusting BUT all cleaned up well! NOW the problem has not solved! When I took the exhaust casing off the motor, because fuel was coming out from there, I tried to pull start it and it just poured fuel. Tipped the ride-on on it's side, emptied all the mucky black fuel etc out of that, got the air compressor into it, dried it, and then tried to pull start it but a lot of fuel just flew out at me....I am stumped!
