Wow. You're magic.

There is an auto spam catcher, sometimes, someone with a low count will trip it is he does more than 3 posts in 7 days. It will straighten itself out in a few days.

Pictures have been slow uploading. I had the problem in an another thread. Wound up doing a double post then had to go clean it up.

So I have an update. It’s most definitely getting fuel. And like I said too much of it. It’s pouring out of the pipes when trying to start it any ideas? Yes I’ve taken it off and cleaned the carb and I even replaced all of the o rings

The float is set too high or there is a piece of trash holding the float valve open.

After charging the battery overnight try - turn fuel on, count to 3 and turn the fuel off. Try starting as normal. When it starts, turn fuel on then off just enough to keep it running. If it's a sticky valve, often that will let it clear out. Try that and get back to us.

Something is wrong with the float valve. It could be as mentioned above, the float is set too high. One way or another the float valve is not shutting off. Could be trash or a bad seal at the float valve too.
