Float in the carb. Happens to me sometimes when I come to a sudden screeching stop.

Adjust the float....lol. Sorry, but that is the way to fix it. It depends on what type of carb you have.

Buy a simple rebuild kit, and a float. Follow the directions, install, and SET the float level with the gauge included in the kit, and you will be fine. Keep all the parts in order as you disassemble it, and don't leave any out upon reassembly. It only looks difficult!
