Motor starts and revs for 2-5 seconds and then dies. When the choke is closed, fuel builds up behind butterfly. Could this be a float problem or adjustments. Motor has been in storage for a while and think I got all the bad fuel out. Any ideas? Need more info to make a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
