Default Laid on wrong side- wont idle

I didnt read the fine print and laid my 1999 15hp 4 stroke on its back not its side. I got the oil out of the cylanders and it will now run stong but wont idle. I assume there is guber in the carb. Is something I can address or do I need to poney up the 200 for the outboard ship? How far into the carb do I have to go in order to address the problem? I have already tried a spray in carb cleaner. Thanks

Default Problem resolved

Since there are very few fixes posted, Ill add one to my own problem. The OB tech drained the fuel from the carb and problem solved. There is a drain at the bottom of the carb and then the set screw at the top needed to opened. Once he did this, the problem was solved in about 3 minutes. This may not be the solution for everyone, but you should try if if you did what I did.
