    Stalls running at idle speed

    Pulled the idle mixture screw out, cleaned inside, replaced and after many many attempts to keep it idling it continued to fail, regardless of the adjustments to the mixture setting and idle speed setting. Time for a new carb????

    Stalls running at idle speed

    Thanks. I'll check on getting the screw out, and then I'll go back to the cleaning again. Thanks for the help!

    Stalls running at idle speed

    Thanks, I saw that and wondered if that needle valve was the idle mixture valve. That is the one that has a tab on the screw head, that limits it's movement to. 180 degrees. That tab keeps the screw from coming out as well. So, I am at a loss as to how to get that out to clean it out. I am...

    OK, thanks for the help anyway. Hopefully someone will chime in.. I am thinking of taking the carb off, and taking it to the dealer and asking them to point out what I cannot find on line...

    Stalls running at idle speed

    I have found out a few things... if the idle mixture screw is hidden under a cap of some sort, there is four caps... which one could it be? There is also a screw with a tab attached to the screw head, that limits it to only a180 degree turn. This screw was set to the most open position, so I...

    Stalls running at idle speed

    In the package with the rubber seal for the two halves, there were two small round rubber orings. I did not remove any when taking the carb apart, and therefore did not put them in either. I believe I noticed a diagram of the carb showing the brass hollow jet sleeve (with multiple smaller...

    KM1125 thanks for the reply. I just came back in the house from running the motor. I removed the carb, soaked it, sprayed it out with carb cleaner, replaced the rubber seal between the two halves, replaced the old fuel filter on the engine, replaced the two gaskets on the spacer between the...

    Stalls running at idle speed

    Would that allow it to run so well, and then stall at idle, and then restart so easily?

    Engine: 2004 Honda 20 horse, 4 stroke My engine stalls while running at idle speed. When put in nuetral, and start botton pushed, the engines fires right back up, without any hesitation or long periods of turning over, as if nothing ever happened. I have cleaned the carb. I have adjusted the...
