before you tear it apart, tap the carb with the butt of a screw driver a few times. Probably just the float is stuck from sitting over winter without draining the bowl. If that doesnt work, then proceed to the rebuild. Very simple process I might add. Good Luck

also dont forget to change the oil most of the time that is where alot of the unused gas finds a home.
