Handy Don 10,597 #27 Posted September 20, 2022 I don't think anyone mentioned checking the air filter. A heavily clogged filter not only reduces air flow, it causes the carb to try to pull extra fuel into the combustion chamber. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just couldn't square the choke keeping it running and the wet plug when it failed to come up with float adjustment. I was thinking more like the float wasn't floating. Not sinking as in gas-filled, but binding in the bowl somehow sticking whether up or down. I would drop the bowl and have a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dadof2 5 #29 Posted September 28, 2022 I finally got back to it and the new spark plug did not fix my problem. I checked and I am not getting a spark so I believe that the coil is toast. I will open a new thread about this. Thank you all for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
