Hi.. my 261 engine has worked perfect up until this last week. Went for annual safety check, and it passed
but RIGHT outside the building at a crossroad it died when I stopped for redlight. Was VERY hard to start.
Same thing happened later this weekend several times.
I will remove the carb coming weekend and check it up.
Couldn't see any leaks when I looked but it sure smelled a lot of fuel.
When it has died it runs "fine" again only with a bit of choke, if I push the choke in completely it starts rumbling and dies again. Then all of a sudden it runs perfect again.
I guess a good cleaning can do the trick so that's the first thing to do coming weekend.
