Mad ok i got a 12.5 hp briggs its a flat head engine with the 2 pc carb i took it off cleaned it checked the smal rubber were needle valve go's thats good new bowl gasket and when i try starting it is like its flooding out? the bowl is plastic and non adjustable. so idk but its making me mad.

11 carb will work.

Any cracks or holes in the plastic float? Float needle look good?
