Started her no problem, but after running for a few minutes, fuel started leaking out of the back / underside of the carb...removed carb & dumped excess gas (the carb was completely flooded), but when I reattached it, I realized the valve (that closes when you pull the choke) is sticking... Is it carb rebuild time, or carb cleaner time? Any ideas? Do you think the choke cable is just bound up and a new one would potentially help solve the problem? Any input would be greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 49 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 49 | To be on the safe side, a squirt of WD-40 or something as such into the choke cable's ends, and some Carb Cleaner on the choke, then open/close it a few times. It helped quite a bit when I took my carb off ... | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 20 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 20 | Sounds like a good place to start - I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes - thanks RI-59. I'm wondering how easy it is to replace the whole choke cable...I saw a brand new one for 12 bucks...seems like it cant be that big of a deal... | | |
