i have a suzuki 230 that has some carb problems i just cleaned it and put a rebuild kit and added a fuel filter and it runs fine for a couple of days then it wont start again so i blow a little compressed air in it through the gas line aqnd it starts and runs good for a few days then same thing again

 

Does it have a paper element fuel filter? If so get rid of it. They dont work well on gravity fed fuel systems. Replace it with one of the ones with a brass screen, inside....all dealerships have them...like a buck 50 or so.

 

its been doing this long before i put the fuel filter on
