  • Might just be a mix of issues. Rebuild the bugger with genuine parts (not amazon/ebay specials). Possibly float is now sticking, might be the drain screw vibrated a bit loose, might just be hating on you leaving it sat. My fuel lines weep a little until they expand again with use. Weird huh.

  • okay, dumb moment check. If i left the choke on, could it cause this? I had it running again today at home to look, and no leaking fuel...

  • Could do. Choke is fuel enrichment so it’s an additional route for fuel to get through the carb. Maybe it bottlenecks and leaks out.

  • It’s just the float needle sticking. Often you can give the side of the carb a sharp tap and it will stop. Sometimes, running the engine will fix it by itself.
