3300 flooding need some help please.

Today after 2 months of setting I went to start the jd 3300 and it spits and sputters and runs a little but won't start and run. It's flooded and I'm not sure if the electric fuel solenoid on the front bottom of the carb has anything to do with this? Or maybe the float is stuck? I'm not to bright at all this so suggestions are welcome. Thanks for all your help in advance!
 
If it is flooding at start up then the solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor is more than likely not the trouble. It sounds like the float has dirt/rust in the needle valve. Shut the gas off and drain the carburetor. Remove the inlet fuel line at the carburetor with the drain plug out. Blow compressed air into the carburetor gently. Some times this will clean the needle valve out. I will be honest in that most of the time it does not. If it does not work your going to have to remove the carburetor and take it apart to give it a good cleaning. You will need at the minimum a bowl gasket when you do this. The old one will 95% of the time tear when you take it off. You also may need a new needle valve and seat.
 
OK thank you. I took the drain plug out this morning and took the elbow line off and blew carb cleaner through it which came right out the drain so I replaced the drain plug put car cleaner back in and let set drained flushed repeated. I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner I would have tried that. I was getting ready to put it back together and try it hear in a minute. After everything dried up. I'll let you know what happens soon. Thank you so much
 
OK still firing and and spitting and sputters out and I noticed a little gas come out were my finger is pointing in the pic.

I got it started once after I discovered that the number one spark plug was really lose. It ran for about 30 sec then died. I'm going to take the car off tomorrow and see about getting it worked on
 
I had a carb that did the same thing. I removed the carb and disassembled it completely. I soaked it overnight in Lemon Pine Sol. It removed the gluey gunk better than any petroleum cleaner I've used in the past. When was the last time it was rebuilt?
 
Thanks guys, I rebuilt the carb with some help from Mike's carb online. This was my first one and it started right up! Thank you again guys!
