So, I have rebuilt the carb on my Yamaha and I believe the float is sticking. After running rich for a while, the machine will begin to spit and sputter, then dump about 1/8 cup of gas back out the breather. I thought my issue was my choke, because when I went to tear into the issue, the choke plunger was corroded (probably because I didn't blow out the carb cleaner like I should have).

I am pretty new to this stuff, quite limited on the technical tools.

I am considering looking for a replacement carb. One that the parts are more readily available, but not sure what to look for.

Suggestions please?

Have you replaced the needle and seat? Often a decent-looking needle can still be bad. The wee little spring inside for the plunger sags, which can alter the level at which the floats close the needle.

Need and seat were replaced when I rebuilt the carb.
