Starting issue...

Just a heads up. If it is a stuck float, dont run the engine. If its dribbling fuel after shut down, dont run the engine.

I ruined my last engine due to a stuck float causing fuel to dribble into the engine.

Pull the dipstick as soon as you can and smell it. If it smells like gas, fix the float and change the oil.

Being stupid cost be big time... all for the time it would have taken to pull the air cleaner, see the problem, adjust the float and change the oil....
