99 explorer not running well at all
I wanted to let people know I found my problem.My 99 explorer 400 was not running well.It would drown out like it was getting either too much fuel or not enough fuel.I thought maybe it was jetting or a carb. problem after some help from this forum.I had a dealer go through it and they thought my clutch needed rebuilt and cleaned the carb out.Well during hunting season it kept dying out in high gear and I would have to feather the throttle to keep it running and worse case open the choke just to keep it running.I decide to give tearing the carb down a try on my own and found something very interesting.When I pulled the carb. free of the intake boot I noticed raw fuel coming out of the bottom of the main jet cover cap bolt head. Apparently it rests on a rubber block and over the period of almost seven years it had worn the hex bolt head down to about a thirtey degree angle and worn a hole through the bolt head. I could not get a new one right away so I bought some J B weld and built the bolt head back up.Well that did it.I put It back together tonight and it runs real good again.I hope maybe this helps somone out.
