I did my carb clean the other day. Used cleaner and compressed air. Put the carb back in, now no start. The bowl is constantly full. As well the spark is dripping in fuel. I'am getting a spark. I'm not sure where I went wrong. It was running before the carb clean. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

It almost sounds like the float is sticking and flooding the engine. Did you try changing the spark plug. Sometimes when the engine floods the spark plug quits under load. You might also try spraying a little starter fluid in the spark plug hole and see if it fires even briefly.
Also check and make sure all the vacuum lines are hooked up properly. That can be a problem too.

The pin that maneuvers the float. Is there only one way it should face? Cause there if it was in backwards. Does it matter? Thanks.

The pin as you call it that goes in the hole to shut off the fuel when the bowl is full only goes in one way with the point into the hole. Alleyoop   |

Yes alleyoop. I wasn't sure if it was facing the other way if it would make a difference. Thanks.

Does it attempt to start does it FIRE or just cranks and cranks?

If it doesn't attempt to fire at least once and the plug is wet I don't think the plug is sparking.
How did you check if the plug is sparking?

I pulled the plug and grounded it. I saw the spark jump. Thanks.

Sounds like to me it should be starting are you sure you don't have on the kill switch? Sometimes people can make real easy mistakes keep us posted.

Or could the auto choke be flooding it? Thanks.

Not having the air filter on. Would that affect this issue? I didn't put it back on yet. Just cause I couldn't get it started. Thanks.

So I took the carb all apart again this morning. I put all back together. It looked good. Still no start.
