Bamboozeled by the Barbarian
I noticed that my carb was flooding and was able to verify this by holding the prime switch on with the engine off. So I did a visual check of the carb, tightened everything up and retried it. No joy. So I took off the bowl so I could see the float and needle valve, turned the carb upside down so the weight of the float was holding the needle valve in the closed position, coated everything in the bowl area liberally with bubble solution and pressurized the fuel intake with air. No bubbles. Hmmm. I'm out of ideas. Anyone else solved a similar problem or have other ideas?
Other points:
The generator runs
The float is adjusted per the spec
The carb is clean
The float isn't full of liquid
