I got my blaster running today and i took a trip around the yard and pulled into the garage and i got off and let it idle and then noticed a puddle of something immediately on the ground and upon further inspection i found out it was fuel and it was coming out of all 3 overflow tubes so i quickly shut the fuel off and it quit. so i pulled the carb out and cleaned it and everything looked fine. i put it back in and it did the same thing. the only time it doesnt do it is when i hold the float up but as soon as i let it down it starts flowing again. please help. i dont want to buy a brand new carb unless i have too. but if you have a used one laying around that is in good condition then let me know.
Carburetor problems!! I need help.

no man you don't need a new carb, your floats are probably sticking open for some reason. take the bowl off and check the needle seat, mke sure it's clean and moves freely, also make sure the little metal tab that the needle hooks on to isn't bent or anything.
prolly the float needle, its under the floats, and has a rubber tip, but dont try buyin one at the dealers, they're like 50 sum bucks, go on ebay and buy a whole rebuild kit for like $15, and you get that $50 part and all the others too, plus save around $35
but yeah check your float height first to the specs mentioned above

i don't know how to set the floats. and i can still hold the floats up and it won't run out so how do i get the floats or that little needle thing to stay up all the time. please help
Go to this thread and download the manual. Go to the carb section and it will tell you how to adjust the floats.
