Is the carb leaking fuel into the intake after you shut it off?

Sounds like your float level is set to high or your needle/seat is not sealing. Easiest is to check float level first. Is the 750 new or rebuilt? If it has been apart be sure the springs were put back on the float lever.

Before someone jumps on this, I incorrectly stated "springs" each float has one spring that attaches were the pivot shaft goes through.
