Carb Help
2001 Kawasaki Prairie 4X4
Had my atv sitting all winter. Decided to get it going. Starts but idles for about 5-10 seconds and then dies out. Was told to clean the jets. So I take out the carb, clean out the three jets and put everything back together. Try and start it, and nothing. Hear something leaking underneath. Its gas coming out of the bottom of the air cleaner box. Take off the seat and gas tank and notice this pin sitting there:
I don't know where it came from. Never heard it fall out when I was taking the carb apart. Could this be the problem, and where does it go?

Flooded engine.
Turn off fuel supply.
Without pin in place fuel will fill up engine till tank is dry.
Remove carb , turn upside down, remove bowl,
make sure fuel inlet needle is in the seat, then install the float hinge pin.
Test to make sure float is in place with the pin and opens and close's the fuel
inlet needle.
Re-install carb bowl , then should be good to go.
Remove and check sparkplug for signs of engine flooded.
Check oil level.
