    Float level to high - choke not opening correctly - That would be the first place to start.

    camoit,

    If the float level is high, then does this mean that the carb is just dumping gas into the manifold without mixing it with air for combustion? Would this also explain why the exhaust has a really awful foul smell of gas?

    I also noticed that when I took out the Mikuni carb there was fuel residue inside the manifold. like gas was just dumped in there or something.
