If the float is working correctly to shut off the fuel when not running, it does not follow that it is set to the correct level. With the fuel shut off, pull the bowl off of the carb. Lift the float gently with your finger and open the fuel valve. Gently let off pressure (over a pan) and see when the fuel flows. The float should be able to be measured at that point to see where its level is. Measure as shown in the manual, I do not have the data in sight. If correct, the main metering jet might have fallen out, or (unlikely) the cam timing has slipped and the engine is blowing air out of the intake. Is there good suction on the air intake when cranking? if so it is probably in the float or float level. JimN
