Just recently acquired an old ryobi 410r tiller with a weed eater engine. I've replaced the carb, fuel lines, filter and plug. It has good compression and spark. I've double checked and reset the fuel adjustments on the carb. When I try to start it fuel is leaking out of the carb and obviously will not start. Ive worked on small engines most of my life and never had one stump me like this. What am I not doing right?

The float is not stopping the fuel flow.
EPA regulations require overflows to be internal now days.

There is no reason to believe that a new carb is immune to crud in the fuel getting stuck under the float needle.
