My neighbor loaned out a 10 hp 5500w Generac B&S generator and upon
recieving it back it was so flooded it wouldnt pull, Hydro lock. Tank
valve was left open, 5 gal on top. The crank case overflowed gas and
upon plug removal gas squirted out 5 ft . Is this a bad float with
the valve in just the wrong position or what. Motor is OHV 2v yr old
Generac-B&S. Oil was drained-refilled right after twice but still
smells of gas. B&S is closed today.
