ok i can't stop it from just over filling after the wreck, I thought
i had it stoppped i pulled the bowl and chacked the floats and they seemed fine.

i cleaned the slide pulled the needle out and cleaned it also.


i hook it back up and it just starts it all over again, i want to throw the damn thing against the wall but i don't have another one.
 
is your float cracked check it by putting it in some water or gas container you can see it well and see if it floats wait for little bit to see if it sinks. like a pop bottle cut off. did you clean the needle and seat or slide needle? seat needle could be sticking shut. but sounds more like float problem.
 
pull your float needle out and clean it GOOD and clean down in the needle seat with some kerosene or carb cleaner with a Qtip. The wreck you had mightve shook up some sediment in the carb or in the tank or something and now its clogged there. The littlest piece of dirt in the needle seat will keep it from sealing completely and cause your carb to overflow. One obvious thing to check as well is the screw on the bottom, make sure its tight.

HOW HARD is it to get the float needle out?

i pulled the slide/ needle and cleaned it out,, how do you adjust that part.
 
To take the float and needle out you need to take the carb off and take the bowl off it, then theres a pin that holds the float on, get a punch or a nail or something and tap the pin out, then pull the float off, then the float needle will slide out of that little hole. Clean that hole (needle seat) really good.
 
ok i got it back together and it seems to not be leaking.

i haven't tried to start it yet, my daughter was asleep.


i'm going to run it after work maybe hit a trail by my house.


i'll let you know
