I replaced all of the fuel lines and gas filter, but gas will not stop flowing into carburetor, I replaced the fuel pump thinking it might be the problem but it still will not stop, I checked the choke to make sure it opens and closes like it should and that seems to fine, what should I look for now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If fuel keeps pouring into the carb its because the float is not closing the needle valve. Drop the bowl and manually raise and lower the float to see if it moves freely and shuts off the gas. Some old floats could actually leak and fill with fuel so they did not float well enough to close the needle. Let me know what you find and we'll go from there. Bob

I took the bowl off and did what you said, the inside of the bowl had some dirt and rust in there so I cleaned it out with some WD-40, I think the float may have just been stuck, put it all back together and she started up on the first crank and she runs great, so thank you for your help it is appreciated
