200cc scorpion/lifan wont start

Question

got it all together and started it. it ran for about a minute and quit. now gas is running straight thru carb to the ground. also, is choke on in up or down position...what a great instruction/owners guide that came with this thing???? thanks for any help

Answer 1

Turn off the fuel at the gas tank.  The float inside the carb is stuck open.  Remove the float bowl and clean the float needle.  Reassemble carb and try starting again.  The choke is on with the lever up.
