thank you all for the answers all of them are right on the money . first the choke I have is thermal controlled, and it is calibrated very much wide open, so that is not the problem, so I think! Now the float is another story, along with the seat valve. I must say that the adjustment were done very much according to specs.(the float type is late) very much square design.. and the drop end , as well to specs. (by the way the float is free of unwanted gasoline inside of it) the gas pump is std. that is mechanical... some people have adviced me to get a new float that will meet the brand new seat valve that I just put on it. I hope these insights will bring some light to this flooding problem! thank you.

Proper rebuilding new needle and seat properly adjusted float drop and height should do it! There really only about 25 moving parts including balls springs. If the throttle shaft bore is loose you might want to replace the carb or not easy rebushing the throttle shaft.

Not sure. It may be your Choke is sticking, try cleaning with some Carb Cleaner. If, it doing this all the time, the Float could be sinking and need replaced. You can get a rebuild kit for around $20 +/- and in will have instructions, may have to buy the float separate, some come with a plastic one that work good. Look on the Carb for a little tag and get the number. At this age the tag may be gone then look around on the carb and try finding any information possible. Parts Store should be able to figure it out, if, it the original, but, any information will help.

If the carb is functioning properly and the float is working okay you can avoid flooding by pumping the gas pedal three time and then holding the pedel right down before turning the motor over for starting. The number of pumps to prime the carb will have to be done by trial and error. The carb will come un flooded when the gas pedel is depressed right to the fire wall.

i own a repair shop and to prevent it from flooding ,put a manual choke on it,one that you have to use the cable with,this way you have control over how long the choke stays on,good luck i hope this help,s.
