[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 454282, member: 19781"] If the float bowl is filled, it should run for longer than that, even if the fuel pump isn't working. So that wouldn't be my first suspect. I agree it's likely very rich. You need to reset your needles and be sure they're at the right starting position, then start leaning the slow speed needle until it will idle. Given that the float bowl valve was stuck closed... it's also very possible that now it's stuck open ? I would double check that.... hold the carb without the bowl on it and push the float up and down... watch for any possible sticking or failures... be sure the float level is properly adjusted... make sure the float floats....Make sure the float isn't rubbing on the bowl gasket ...etc...
