Went to start my T270 last night, pulled the rope and raw fuel poured out the exhaust. Figured no biggie, it must have turned upside down on the rack and flooded bad. Pulled the plug, it was wet. Pinched off the fuel line pulled the motor over quite a few times to clear it out. Pulled off foam air cleaner. Installed new plug, gapped properly, and tried again. Wouldn't even fire. Pulled the plug, checked for spark. Good strong spark. Cleared out fuel again, plus lit a rag, pushed down into bore to make sure all raw fuel burned out. Tried again. Still couldn't get to even fire. So loaded it up, made sure carb side was up. Tried again today. First pull, stream of raw fuel again. Thinking the float is stuck, but makes no sense why it won't fire with fuel line pinched off. I did put a small amount of fuel in cylinder while the line was pinched just to see if it would fire. Anybody have any ideas? Taking it to dealer on Monday if I can't figure it out. SHould fire right up with a good strong spark, kinda pissing me off.<p>By the way, I'm not going to open up the carb. It's still under warranty. <br><p><font size="1">Edited by: jason
