Re: wont stay running

Re: wont stay running

It'l run forever as long as long as the choke is about 3/4 on as soon as I start to turn the choke off it dies. The plug looks fine.I also cleaned the air filter. I'm thinking mabe the float is stuck.

Re: wont stay running

air tank...hook up air chuck with trigger...stick it in the hole of the carb weer the gas line runs to open the float and blast away the air it will clear the path were ever the gas is running through
