If air box has gas in it, it's flooding, Needle valve must be sticking or gummed up & bowl is filling up. Get some B12 & spray through the jets & let soak then spray again, just dont get the B12 on any rubber o rings, gaskets or diaphram.

Jeff.....would some "Carb cleaner" work just as well and not have to worry about the O-rings?

B12 is goooood stuff. Regular carb cleaner will work just may take a little longer to dissolve any trash or varnish.
