Yes it does

 

Check the gas and air mixture screw and does it idle hi

 

Yes I've tried that it still will die when u try to give it gas I've tried to choke it while it's idling it will die soon as u choke it

 

I took the air box off to see if it was pulling a vacuum I can put my hand over the carburetor and kill it it has a vacuum on it I ordered a new petcock valve going to try that

 

Woody 2017. Pyro here. Your float level adjustment in carb is too high, hence drowning piston in fuel.(dies)If you do not know how to adjust it, write me back and I will give you the correct measurement (float height) per my 220 service manual. What ambient temp are you trying at? Cold starting my 220 is nothing short of a bitch. If I use my choke @ all and try to give it fuel, it will stall unless completely warmed.

 

how do you do that

 

Remove your carb & remove 4 phillips screws @ the float bowl. Once the float bowl is removed, also remove the gasket as you are going to use this surface to place your tape measure. A vernier caliper would be better, if you own one.
From the top of the bowl surface, measure .860 to the top of the float.
That measurement is slightly under 13/16. Slightly means a gnat hair.
Hope this helps.
