(Oops - posted that last one without message by mistake)

So I took the carb apart today, bent the float tab, put it back together, and took her for a spin. The float had been set WAY too high. No wonder it was flooding all the time.

Anyway, it ran and idled smoother than ever before, and most importantly, when I shut it off, no flooding, and it started after 5 minutes.

Thanks to you for helping me out!
