your float is stuck. need to remove the front bowl and see why it's not functioning. make sure there isn't any trash in the needle valve and nothing is in the way of the float operating. is the gas coming out of the hole between the butterfly flaps?sick

if your not carb savy your gonna need that vacuum guage. it makes adjusting a carb easier. if your gonna try and do it without it ... you can adjust the air/fuel mixture screws for highest idle. then at the highest idle ... adjust the idle stop screw til your RPM's are about 700. then adjust the air/fuel mixture screws for highest idle again. if it gets higher than 700 RPM's adjust the idle stop again. it may take you a few times and it isn't quite as accurate as a vacuum guage but, it will do in a bind. sick
