I just recently dismantled the carburetor and cleaned it.  It was full of sediment.  I replaced it, re-checked everything, open the valve on the sediment bowl to feed it with fuel.  I tried starting the machine and it just kept flooding.  It turns over just fine, but isn't firing up.  I'm assuming it's because it's so flooded.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

Appreciate any help.

Does the carb have a float?  If it does maybe the float or the needle that is under the float is stuck. Maybe the jet has some of that sediment residue hung up in it.
