have a Briggs & Stratton PowerBoss 6200 Watt Mobile Generator. The engine is a 13HP. B&S Vanguard engine.

This generator has been trouble free since I purchased it new in 2007 (well, it was mostly new). I've performed routine maintenance (gas, oil, plug, filter) twice yearly since I've owned it. However, last year, mid summer, it started to run a little rich and ragged. When I put it up for the winter (around September) I had fresh gas in the tank along with fuel stabilizer.

Fast forward to May of this year (2014). I arrived home one evening to a strong smell of gasoline in the house (the storage shed where the Gennie was stored is attached to the side of the house) and when I investigated, I discovered the source of the gas smell was the generator, which appeared to be leaking gasoline from the air filter compartment. I moved the generator outside under a tarp in a corner of the yard and finally got around to working on it today. While it was sitting out in the yard for a month, under the tarp, it still was leaking (dribbling) gas out of the air filter housing as evidenced by a patch of dead grass.

I removed the carburetor today and cleaned it thoroughly. I've cleaned B&S carbs many many times and was pretty thorough. I checked the float in WATER (not gas) and visually inspected the needle and seat. Both appeared to be fine. I reinstalled the carburetor and started the engine. The engine started, ran rough and blue smoke came pouring out of the exhaust, and then the PCV hose from the head to the air cleaner belched liquid gas as the engine died. I've never seen this before. Gas was pouring out of the air cleaner vent.

Here is a movie of what I am talking about. I shot a short movie that shows the engine starting and then gas pouring out:

See the next post for movie and pics.

The two questions I have are:

1. What is causing the massive flooding? I suspect the float is bad.

2. I would like to have a spare identical carb for this gennie. But can't seem to find a whole carb on the net, only parts. Any idea or suggestion where I can buy a whole carb for this generator?

Thanks in advance for all responses.

Here are the engine specs/numbers from the side of the Generator:
