Hello Steve:
The Carburetor Float has Stuck. If the Engine has Sit for a Long Time, I Suggest you Remove and Disassemble the Carburetor and Soak it Overnight in Carburetor Cleaning Solution(I use Gunk). Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Kit. You can View a Breakdown/IPL at this Addy http://shop.briggsandstratton.com/BShopProductListingPage.asp?rsvp=0&PARENTID=0& and ENter the Model Numbers 460777 and the Type Numbers 1276 and Click Search. Then Scroll Down to the 2nd Listing and Click on View PDF. This will Download a Breakdown/IPL for you to View Online. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks. Be Safe.
Good Luck

Answer Hello Steve:
The Float Needle Isn't Seating Properly or the Float is Set to High if the Float Doesn't have a Hole in it. The Float Prevents the Carburetor from Flooding like you Described. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks. Be Safe.
