If it is the carb, it will need to be completely diassembled, cleaned and put back together. You will need a carb kit from an auto parts store, a shop manual, and if you have never rebuilt a carb before, the assistance of someone who has.

floats were not stuck. needles and jets are fine. should i move to the ignition, because i cannot find anything wrong with the carb to be honest, but hey, what do i know.
