OK got her fired up and she runs pretty good no more oil tank just gonna mix the fuel, one question though how much fuel should be coming from the float bowl
overflow it's not pouring out butthere is some in the line and can this just be plugged.

Glad you got it running:w00t:
Why did you disconnect the oil injection? Its easy to rebuild and provides the right amount of oiling at the right time, in the right areas. Some two strokes will work fine, some will burn up from doing this. Just my .02 on that.

No fuel should overflow. You might have the float set too high, or the needle and seat are stuck, obstructed, or worn out.

Thanks Dohc I removed the injection because the pump froze and the oil side of the throttle cable broke figured it would be just as easy to mix the fuel mixing at 40/1 and we'll see how it runs and go from there I cleaned the carb real good so I'm guessing your right maybe float to high or the jet is worn out gonna get a carb kit try that.
