Hi bigbobby,
I created your own thread for your problem so it does not get lost in the other guys thread.

Well from what you say the CARB is FLOODING. That means the FLOAT and Plunger inside the CARB bowl is NOT SHUTTING off the fuel when the carb bowl is full of fuel and it just keeps comeing in and flooding. That is most likly why it starts and dies to much gas and the plug will not fire.

So you need to take the carb off and take the FLOAT out and CLEAN OUT the HOLE that the plunger goes in or it could be the float is dameged and no longer floating and is filled with gas.

So here is what you will be looking at:

Here is what the FLOAT and SHUTOFF PLUNGER look like, As the gas bowl fills up the float rises and pushs the Shutoff Plunger into the FUEL INLET and STOPS gas from coming in when full. If the FUEL INLET has crud in it the POINT ON THE PLUNGER will not STOP the fuel from coming in.
