Machine continuiosly floods out
I believe it is siphoning gas through the primer and flooding the machine.when it is cold I have to primer it to keep it running but when it warms I have to unplug the primer or it will flood.i replaced the primer but the problem still persistes.i installed a gas shut off on the main line.to start it, I need to shut off the main fuel line, primer it till it starts,then turn on the fuel supply and unplug the primer when it warmes up so it doesn't flood. after all tht it seem to run good.but if I don't shut off the fuel line and unplug the primer when I shut it off it will be flooded when I go to start it again. any suggestions?

Sounds like to needle valve is sticking allowing extra fuel to continuously flood the carb. One easy quick fix is to add a product called Sea-foam to your gas tank and allow it to dissolve any gum deposits that have been deposited in your carb. Keep in mind that Ethanol gas will start to go bad in 30 days if you do not add a stabilizer (such as Sta-Bol Ethanol or similar). Best to never leave gas (stabilized or not) in your gas tank for more than 90 days.
