Tricky-Ricky Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This one is driving me nuts, it started cutting out so did all the usual, checked the fuel delivery from tank etc, then rebuilt and cleaned the carb, twice! the second time it dropped the idle, but ut still does the same thing...runs for about a minute and dies, so to me that says fuel starvation, the primer/pump bulb stay full of fuel and not running dry, the fuel lines are not blocked, and the diaphragms in the carb look fine, anyone had these sort of symptoms and managed to cure it?

glrnet Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Is the fuel "fresh'? Evaporation can lead to an over "oily" mix althought never experienced the probelms you are having. Spark plug breaking down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the reply....stripped and cleaned the carb for the fourth time, and in now seems to be working, so i obviously managed to dislodge whatever miniscule piece of crap that was blocking something, so fingers crossed i don't end up doing it again, it has been faultless for the last three years, so i guess i cant complain too much.....back to my favourite job...grass cutting: Edited July 26, 2016 by Tricky-Ricky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
