Could be a stuck float and raw gas just blowing down into the intake
manifold somehow (bad carb gasket between top and bottom half?) My M37 did
that for way too long. Another irritating thing my 151 did was when I left
if for long periods of time, by some process known only unto the Physics
Gods, the carb would keep percolating raw gas into my intake manifold and
then into the combustion chambers, past the rings, and on into the oil. Not
fun. The resulting overly dry starts sounded...sickening.
