Reset the carb needles back to factory, then pull the plug and let the cylinder air out overnight to clear out any excess fuel. After that, try to fire it up.

Next time it does not start, no need to leave open overnight. Simply close both needles, and crank up, it will start using the excess fuel in the engine.

It will eventually die as it will run out of fuel, but make sure the truck is facing toward a wall, or be ready to kill the engine, a quick over-rev wont harm the engine from when it leans out after consuming all the fuel.

After that, just set the needles and done.
