Hard starting

It ran fine this summer now you have to hold it wide open just to get it to start and sputter. Fuel is spewing out of the rear overflow tube. What's causing this I thought I had it fixed.

Sounds like a sticky bystarter or float.

Sounds like to me that it is the float sticking open or the needle valve is stuck open. Having to keep the throttle wide open says that you are flooding the engine when cranking it over. Needs more air to run then.

float valve is worn or needs adjustment, check the float pin for play.
