Float probably stuck or has a hole in it allowing fuel to enter or
Bad needle and seat valve
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.
There are several things that would cause the engine to flood and not ignite. If you haven't used the blower in over a month, the fuel may have gone bad, thereby not igniting and flooding the engine. The carburetor float may be stuck open and not stopping the flow of fuel when full. The carburetor needle valve(s) may need to be adjusted - sometimes the vibration of the engine will cause it/them to close or open.
Adjustment might not help. Sounds like the needle valve has to be changed. Might not be seating properly and therefor flooding the engine.

Some brands of carburetor cleaners include Valucraft, CRC, Berryman, and Gunk. You can find carburetor cleaners at auto parts stores such as AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts.
If it starts and dies after a very short while, look for a fouled spark plug (flooding), clogged fuel filter (fuel starvation), clogged air filter (flooding), or fuel settings on the carburetor (flooding or fuel starvation).

leevees are natural desposits that help keep rivers from flooding. Hope it helped XD
You can find pictures of carburetor parts at your local library. Many auto-parts stores can copy pictures of carburetor parts.
Sounds like it is flooding out. Try idling your carburetor up. unless it is fuel injected. also use some carburetor cleaner, or throttle body and injection cleaner if its fuel injected.
