    Sounds like you are flooding so start by dropping the bowl, dump that fuel and test the float by raising and lower it. Did it start and stop a flow of fuel by operating the float?

    The flow of fuel is just flowing when I undo the stop valve, but I will check th float and blow it out tomorrow. Will let know what rectified it if it will, also will get some fresh fuel.
