Have you checked to see if the float has a hole in it allowing fuel to weight it down? Possibly the needle valve is sticking and not the float. Could also be the float needs adjusting. You need to open the carburetor up and see what is going on.
Float may be sticking or have a hole in it.
under the float bowl on the carburetor
More than likely the needle valve is bad or the float is sticking
If it's coming out the overflow pipe, then it's likely to be a sticking float.
Float probably stuck or has a hole in it allowing fuel to enter or Bad needle and seat valve
the tip of the needle might be bad or the float is sticking or it has a hole in it and fills up with gas
If you are referring to leaking out of one of the overflow hoses, your float is sticking. If it is leaking from the body of the carb, the gasket where the carb and float bowl bolt together needs to be replaced.
Carb.? Float sticking and flooding
It is in the float chamber of the carburetor.
So which is it? Carb or Throttle Body? Throttle body is a single (sometimes 2) electronic fuel injectors mounted in a carburetor LOOKING device that sits on the intake manifold. A flooding throttle body injector system is caused by faulty electrical to the injector or more likely a sticking injector. If the problem isn't too severe yet, use some injector cleaner before you spend a lot of money. If it's a CARBURETOR, you have a sticking needle & seat or a damaged float inside the float bowl. It's a relatively simple job to rebuild the carburetor but if you have never done it before, you might want to just replace your carb with a rebuilt one.
Start by trying a good carb cleaner in the gas. If that does not work you will have to take the carb. apart and clean it. Hope this helps.
The float is located inside the carburetor.
