Hope you all had a nice Christmas considering. Well I dug the old Still BG86C out of the shed. Was running about a year ago and doing it's job. I have put fresh 2 stroke in it and adjusted the plug, cleaned the filter. The primer bulb seems OK. Tried to start it and it is throwing petrol out of the exhaust at a rate of knots. The compression seems OK ? Any ideas please. Thank you.

Don’t think that you will find a float as it will probably have a “cube carb” with a needle valve operated by a diaphragm. If you are lucky it will respond to a good clean to remove gum and stale fuel - best done in an ultra sonic tank. . Not so lucky the diaphragms will have hardened or split. Worst of all it won’t respond and will need a replacement carb. Dare I say that a Chinese copy carb will cost far less than even a genuine diaphragm and gasket set. Have a look at Garden Hire Spares.
