my son is a putz. we think prtty much know what happened. my son, without me knowing, put a different float in the old carb. it was out of a newer carb. the arms of the float were being bushed down keeping the needle open. letting gas come through continously. ill kick him later. so we are fixing the problem as i speak. hes getting the old one, and ill keep you informed. thanks for the help so far.
