If it has been ok up till now, it's possible you have a heavy float. ( full of gas) If you remove the bottom bowl from the carb, you will see the float assembly. Turn your das on and push up with your finger. You will see where it needs to be to shut off the flow. Judge that against the side of your bowl and youll know if its right. To adust it, you just bend the little tab where the needle and seat are.

YOU CAN ADJUST FLOATS WITHOUT SPECIAL TOOLS. ALL YOU NEED IS A FOOT LONG PIECE OF CLEAR TUBING, SIZED TO FIT THE BOWL DRAIN. SET FLOATS AS CLOSE TO WHAT THEY WERE WHEN YOU REPLACED IT. INSTALL THE BOWL AND PUT THE TUBE ON THE DRAIN. OPEN THE BOWL DRAIN SCREW WHILE HOLDING THE TUBE UP BESIDE THE CARB. WHEN YOU GET THE TUBE BESIDE THE CARB ASSY., THE GAS IN THE TUBE SHOWS YOU THE EXACT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE BOWL. FROM THIS YOU CAN MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY FOR CORRECT LEVEL. THE LEVEL SHOULD BE RIGHT BELOW THE PLANE WHERE THE BOWL MEETS THE CARB BASE.

with the float bowl off and holding the carb level, adjust the float where it is level and the jet is up enough to seal. float should be set then.
