[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 141622, member: 21"] Taking it apart is the best plan, but there is a quick thing to try if you are on the road/trail. Shut off the gas. Open the carb drain and let all the fuel drain out. Turn the gas back on and llet the gas flow for a few seconds. Repeat at least once more. close the carb drain and give it a try The idea is to flush out a small but of crud that is keeping the float valve open. However, if you are in your garage, it's best to open up the carb and give everything a good blast of carb cleaner. Keep an eye out for other issues like a worn out float valve or a float with a hole. If it happens again flush out the tank, lines, etc. You might also consider a filter. [/QUOTE]
