Rolled over now have engine trouble...ctxt
Rolled very easy and sat upside down for about 3 minutes. Flipped back over and tried to start. All that happens (and continues to happen) is gas literally pours out of the little overflow tube onto the ground when I try to start her. Will not turn over at all, I'm sure the engine is getting no gas as it's all streaming out the little tube. What's up? Thanks!

Sounds to me like the cylinder is full of gas/oil - probably fuel. Call it hydraulic lock. Pull spark plugs and turn motor over gently to evacuate cylinder. As for carb leaking - sounds like overflow, turn the fuel off at petcock and spin motor over, tap on carb in float bowl area, turn motor over, Clean the spark plug and reinstall. Start it up. And BTW, don't leave them upside down so long!!

Update: It's Fixed!
I pulled open the airbox and did find some fuel and oil. Sopped that up. Next pulled plugs. They were dry and new (less than 5 hours on them). Pulled aux starter rope 5 times with fuel off and plug out. Put plug back in, turned on gas, pulled aux starter rope & IT STARTED PERFECT!. Shut it off & started with the normal starter, just fine too.
Going to replace the air filter and batten her back up. Thanks guys!
