Vindication!.......I knew that elevating the tank definately had something to do with the "all of a sudden" flooding condition. No one else on this site thought so but I knew that was the cause. I didn't think this engine had a fuel pump but all I did was cut the fuel valve back a bit.......about 1/2 open. It helped alot but still not like when the tank was mounted to the engine. My float is ALL plastic.....no ajustment. Thanks again for the info.
