Thats how I cleaned mine out. The filters should help keep sediment out. If your oil was overfilled and smelled of gas then I would assume it is a needle and seat problem. If your needle doesn't stop the flow of gas into the bowl it runs into the cylinders and past the rings into the case, increasing the volume of the crankcase, which is why it reads high on the dipstick.
I'm going to checkout the float needle. at first the engine wasn't getting gas, then the next day it was flooding... i'm assuming the sediment chocked off the gas then when getting the machine in the garage the sediment caused the needle to stay open. I already drained the oil and will be refilling it with 10w30 for the winter (also changing the oil filter). thanks for the help!
Well, she's running good again. I ended up cleaning the tank, new fuel filter and all new fuel line(the other one was alittle short), replaced the fuel pump and cleaned out the carb. I tore apart the old pump and it had alot of corrosion and sediment in it. Thanks for all the help!
