    You shouldn't need a manual..

    Remove the carb, give it a good cleaning..especially the float valve since that would be why the gas is pouring out. Put it back to together and try to find a rough set to get it running, then dial in the setting screw until it idles well.

    While you are at it drain and refill your tank with fresh gas..no point in going thru the work to clean the carb if you don't know how long the fuel has been in the tank and if it's bad.

    Once you've done one you could pretty much tear down any carb 2 or 4 stroke since they are mostly the same fundamental design.

    gotcha. my brother in law cleaned the carb and still had problems with it, turns out the slow jet didn't have the tiny holes cleaned out. once we went over the carb again and cleaned up and lubed up all the parts it ran just fine. he hadn't been inside a carb before, your right about them being basicaly the same. thanks.
