79cc predator gas flooding motor

[imthegrt1]

So started up bike tonight notice running little rough.
Ran for 5 min than turn off.
As I was tighting some bolts I notice gas leaking from carb.
Also some in air filter.
So waited a few min and it stop went to start motor and wouldn't spin acted like it was lock up.
Than on third try it spun and gas shot out the exhaust. And started leaking out carb.
So what would you think the problem is there ?
Yesterday was first time I started this motor since I bought new 2 years ago

I would say your carb is flooded ..probably needle valve and seat in the carb, you might get by with taking the bowl off and taking the float and needle valve out and give it a good cleaning....maybe a piece of trash between the needle and seat.

That's what I was thinking just weird I thought being a new motor.but like I said bought it 2 years ago so I'll do that in the morning

I had one of these carbs on my grandson's mini bike that I could not fix...no matter what, so I just bought a new one off Ebay...like $15.00 at that time. Good luck !
