Gas pouring out overflow tube
I rebuilt the carb on this thing and now when I try to start it it will start but not run right. Then it dies and when I try to start it gas is just pouring out the carb overflow tube on the backside of the carb. Anyone know what I did wrong?

Hi,
Check out the float valve too. Might have got a fleck of crud between the rubber and the seat. You might be able to blow air or carb cleaner into the fuel inlet tube and disloget it, but I'd take it apart again.
If you find it was crud check out your fuel line and tank strainer. Might need to replace/clean or put an inline filter with your carb..
