Called the company who rebuilt the carb and told them the issue. They said it just fell out of warranty a month ago but go ahead and send it back and they would disassemble it and flow check it free of charge. Great company, Fly Fishing Carburetor. Going to hang my hat on this one and rent a...
Let the engine heat soak for 1/2 hour and now it will start, run for about 30 seconds and die. Won’t restart at all now. Tried again in 15 minutes and it will repeat the same.
Alright, it does have a little screen at the carb. You guys where right! It was clean with only a small speck of something that I cleaned out.
As for the carb, at first I didn’t see any dripping and it was running good. I advanced the throttle a few times to 1500-2000 RPM and back to idle...
Will do. I didn’t take the actual fitting off but just looked inside and didn’t see anything but looking at the rebuild manual I see what you’re talking about. Small little screen ‘rock catcher’
Mine also make some noise when turning to full-stop left or right. Also if I've trimmed it too far up it will also start to make some noise. They feel rock solid so I think this is normal for extreme angles. Like others have stated, if they have any play in them at all it's time to replace. If...
I’ll pull the spark arrester off and look inside to see if it’s dripping or anything. Should I pull the top of the carb off and look into the bowl? Not sure what’s all involved in that.
Changed the rubber fuel line when I did the antisiphon. There is definitely fuel getting to the engine now. It’s running really rich at idle. Not sure why the issue only comes up after the engine is shutdown after its hot.
Correct, after the switch replacement the dry fuel line problem (knock on wood) has been corrected. It’s acting like it’s over rich during idle. I just looked up the instructions for setting the idle mixture and it looks like I need to lock the base timing first. I’ll give that a try and check...
I’ve been running non ethanol since the carb was changed last year. It starts and runs fine when cold. Only have the issue after trying to restart when it’s hot.
Had a similar issue and I changed the solenoids, both up and down, and the problem stopped. Just remember the wiring locations. Blue is up for sky, green is down for grass. Make sure you buy the marine solenoids, aka quicksilver brand as they’re sealed.
Pulled tube this weekend and it was just an open pickup with no screen or anything. Couldn't see anything in the tank. Post #21 has the latest and the issue now is it won't run correctly after warm.
