Starting problem. Gas in exhaust

sounds like the flaots needs set, or the float valve is leaking.
the bottom end may be flooded now, which will prevent it from starting.

as for a flooded bottom end.
drain carb, petcock off to prevent more fuel from flowing in, remove exhaust from cylinder, hold throttle wide open and kick until your cousins leg hurts, LOL.
that should purge any excess fuel out of the bottom end, allowing the fuel/air mix to flow thru the bottom and up the transfers into the top end, as it should.

I strongly suspected the float and was going to hit that tomorrow. I was a little concerned about the gas from the exhaust. I just put a new top end on this engine. So I am trying to cover all basis. I have not done a leak down test. I know I need to do that.
Your post about float height is awesome. I saw some others and the video, but your post helped. Thank you sir.
