Boy, am I stumped. I have a carb problem I can"t figure out. I have a Homelite T-10 with a 10hp Briggs engine. I have put a kit in the carb, and I know the thing is old and pretty loose, but at one time I had it running fairly well. Now I have a flooding problem. When I turn on the gas and start it up, after about 30 seconds it starts to run badly, and I see the carb body start filling with gas....float stuck open. That I know. The float chamber is completely full of gas and it is filling the body from the overflow...I assume. So I have taken the thing apart about thirty times now..seriously....checked the float...not leaking...replaced the needle several times, and test by blowing into the fill tube. It passes air when upright, and does not when upside down (float needle closed). I put it back on the engine....and it floods every time. I have no loose dirt or debris in the carb, gaskets fit tight. I have played with several float levels, including the spec setting, and set low so it would stop flow when the float is barely moved. It floods every time. Now, in blowing cleaner through all the various orifaces, I see that there is a vent at the top of the bowl that emptys into the body below the air filter. Is there some kind of siphon action going on? Any help is appreciated!
