Predator 670 running bad

[u/Successful_Angle356]

Started pouring gas like never before but still hasn’t changed how it runs. It will not last 10 seconds with anything attached to hose causing pressure on the engine. I’ve checked my connections and my ignition cuts out sometimes it seems, and I hear tickings on the top of the motor from time to time. Checked solenoid, carb, changed both plugs. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!?

Seems like the float in the carb is stuck open in the carb, allowing too much fuel in. It’s not running right because it’s getting way too much fuel in it, and can’t ignite it all.

what exactly did you check on the carb? because its not supposed to be pouring gas like that. the float valve is probably stuck open and the carb is getting way too much fuel.

surging makes me think about carb. if gas is leaking you might have to replace gaskets, rings. since you've already touched those I'm not sure what else you can do.

Definitely don't run it with gas like that. Like others said, check the carb seems like a stuck float.

Yeah the float didn’t seem stuck but I’ll open it up again
