The float setting on a Briggs & Stratton 10hp engine, specifically the model 300421013701, is typically adjusted to maintain the correct fuel level in the carburetor bowl. For this model, the float height should generally be set to about 1/8 inch from the gasket surface when the float is in the closed position. It's important to consult the specific service manual for precise measurements and details for your engine, as variations may exist based on the carburetor model. Always ensure the carburetor is clean and properly assembled before making adjustments.
The float valve is probably stuck open.
To fix a sticking float on an 18hp Briggs & Stratton engine, first remove the carburetor and inspect the float and needle for dirt or damage. Clean the carburetor thoroughly with carburetor cleaner, ensuring all passages are clear. Check the float for proper movement; if it's damaged or heavy with fuel, replace it. Reassemble the carburetor, making sure the float and needle seat properly, and then reinstall it on the engine.
It is fuel related and depends on the model as that HP could either be a diaphragm carb (and that would be it) or a float carb (and a dirty jet is likely the culprit.
The fuel float may be stuck in the closed position. Or, the carburetor needle valve may be closed.
Check fuel filter or sticking float: replace filter clean carb. hope this helps
That engine uses a two-piece Flojet carb and must have the main and long metering jet removed first to separate the upper and lower halves without damage. Then three screws must be removed to take the halves apart. Turning the upper half upside down and the float to be level in relation to that part of the body accomplishes the adjustment.

It could be that the spark need to be replaced. Other reasons could be that the carburetor needle valve is opened too far, or the float is stuck in the open position.
The carburetor float may be stuck in the open position and allowing fuel to seep through the carburetor into the intake and into the cylinder. The needle may also not be seating correctly , check the float the check to make sure the needle is seated properly.
It is inside the float bowl hooked to the float witch is usually on the bottom of the carb. Hope this helps.
