I had a Craftsman 10 hp. tecumseh carbureator cleaned. After I put it back on, it will not slow idle and it has fire coming out of the muffler. What do I need to do?

Check your linkage...
About this fire...? What exactly is it doing?

Firing ? :laughing:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I suspect the fire it being caused by fuel leaking into the muffler while it is sitting due to the needle being damaged while it was getting cleaned, and now it is flooding the engine.

If so check oil to see if it smells gassy or seems to be thin or over full. if needle is leaking it will let fuel leak back into crankcase as well
