Then it's fine and will actually restart after it warms up! Float adj prob? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | FLOAT, STUCK NEEDLE, GASKET LEAK OR ON BACKWARDS, FLOAT SETTING TOO LOW. BE SURE TO CHECK TO SEE GAS IN SQUIRTING INTO THROAT WHEN THROTTLE IS ACTUATED, REPORT BACK.

Just changed points and plugs since I posted this afternoon ,no help. Runs fine after I get her going and after she warms up she will start on her own although not right off | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | If you pump the pedal and it squirts each time, then it's the same as poring gas in there!!!! Pump it 6 times and see if it squirts six times in a row, if yes it will start, if no, low float or weak/leaking seal accelerator pump. Make sure it's a two person test, no time to watch it squirt and then get in and turn it over. need observer and starter persons. Report back. report by email [email protected]
