Shut off fuel supply and let the carb burn out any remaining fuel. My 2008 zero turn did the same, but I had a flame thrower on startup. I could feel the heat on my left arm and the flame was at least 4 feet out with the plastic fuel tan right above it.....Oh, what a ride! It had a hole in the carb bowl and the entire carb needed a rebuild. So, how does the carb hole get a hole in it, damned if I know, but I suspect sloppy work and a wild screwdriver from the shop when I took it in last. My questions to the owner were like a train with no wheels, ......soon get nowhere!
Sounds like you need a carb rebuild...
