I mounted a vintage 5 Hp Kohler Command 5 engine, got it started, and it ran for about 15 seconds. I had high hopes, but then it conked out, spewing fuel out the muffler and even out the cup below the carburetor, flooding instantly. Eventually I couldn't even pull the starter rope because the cylinder was so packed with fuel.
I checked the spark and it's good. Looks like I need to work on the carb. Somebody mentioned a stuck float valve. Any other suggestions? I hate to give up on it, and I really think we can fix this engine as a team. Just show me the way. TIA.
