I Know I have read about this problem carb for awhile now and I have done everything I read about too try to fix. It works for awhile & then Back too the same trouble!

Some times it will Idle & some times won't. I have adjusted Idle mixture, cleaned air filter, changed plug, took carb apart & removed every part & cleaned, replaced fuel filter{ inline }, I put it together it runs excelent for a couple hours then back to the same problem. I am constantly adjusting the idle to keep it running. Every once in awhile it will act perfect then all of a sudden Idle drops & stalls & won't start unless I push on accel,

I am going to take it apart AGAIN! Please any Ideas what too check next.

 

mine used to do this..but it stopped...free bump

 

When it wants to die, try engaging the choke partially. If it is worse, then you may be too rich in the idle circuit. If it is better, then you are too lean, or there is an air leak somewhere.

That help?

 

I checked all of that, Some times Rich { will even start cold with no choke } Some times lean, { Have too have choke on full to keep running }

But if I remove the carb and clean it runs fine for awhile? Maybe I'll just put up with it for now & see if it straightens out on it's own.

 

my carb.....even though there was a filter....kept getting big grass seeds stuck in the main jet, and then when when i'd let it sit the grass would sink down and not bother me for a while....i have no idea how it got into the bowl with a filter on it, but i'm thinking it was the vent line that runs up by the gas tank.....Hope this helps ya out
