This isn't a lawn mower, but I was hoping someone would have some general knowledge regarding small engine carbs. When I start the engine, the engine runs at high rpms and gas dumps out of the overflow. I'm thinking the float needle isn't seating properly. I tried to clean the assembly by spraying carb cleaner into the float and letting it soak overnight. Unfortunately, I can not disassemble the float without the use of an ez out extractor. There are no heads on the bolts.
I'm debating on whether I should purchase a new carb or try removing the bolts and replacing them. Do you think a float stuck in the open position is causing my issues? What else could it be?
