Hi All,
My situation is as follows...
Engine starts first time-every time with full choke and 1/4 throttle when it's the first start of the day and the engine is cold. Runs perfectly.
If I run the engine, then restart within 1 hour of running, it will start first time- every time with NO CHOKE and 1/4 throttle.
Now here is the issue. If I run the motor, then try to restart 2-8 hours later, it will only start with NO CHOKE and throttle WIDE OPEN, and it takes anywhere from 2-8 cranks. It will take 10-15 seconds to catch and stabilize the Rpms. Then once again runs perfectly.
To me these symptoms seem like it is flooded, since it will only start with the throttle wide open, then take a few seconds to clear the gas and run smoothly.
There is gasoline pooling in throat of carb, so I replaced the replaced the float valve assembly, including the dowel trick. I have also made sure that the float is level as described in other posts. Additionally, I have made sure that the choke is functioning properly as well.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
