Yesterday evening I pulled the 5105 out of my truck tool box, filled it up with gas and bar oil and tried to start it. I couldn't pull the rope at all! So I took the spark plug out and found the reason - the cylinder was full of gas! I dumped out most of the gas and pulled the rope several times to clear out the rest, blew off the spark plug and put it all back together. After just a few pulls (requiring no choke) it started, spit raw gas out the exhaust for a few seconds, smoked a little, then idled and ran just fine. I did some boring cuts with it which required it to run normally at least, and it performed as usual.
What would cause the cylinder to fill up with gas like that?
