i got this old single cylinder kohler K Series been on the farm for ever mounted on a 6" auger was main auger back in the day before my time but now all it does it clean couple thousand bushels a year, used it this spring was starting to run crappy then bad but ran enough to finish cleaning then drained gas and parked it till now was thinking carb job, pulled the bowl off some rust sentiments in there cleaned it but the float needle seemed to move up and down nice put back together still seems like its flooding itself air filter off and can see bit of gas spray out and with choke closed it will ignite the gas but no sign of engine actually starting pulled carb off all orifices and things seem clean, float seemed to be working turning it over and moving choke i'm getting flames out the carb as well as the exhaust but no sign of starting, does this sound like a stuck valve or something else going on, fuel pump is working there is defiantly spark i jolted myself Any ideas? first issue we've ever had with this thing
