+1 on what Fred said.

I had an issue with the float on my carb. It became porous and allowed fuel to leak into the float. The heavier float now allowed fuel to flood the engine.

My quick fix was to heat the float with a hair dryer and I saw a small porous area on the float. The hot air also helped to force out and dry the float. After it cooled down I used a soldering IRON (not a torch) to "tin" over the porous area of the float.

Seven years later is is still running great.
