SharkBaron 0 #1 Posted July 21, 2011 :woohoo: My 312-8 ran out of gas, then, when restarted, ran normally for 30 sec., then backfired and stopped. When I try to start, no start and more backfire. Was told to clean carb, I'm a mechanical idiot, so advice or manual would be greatly appreciated !! new E-Mail is gsteele58@aol.com. Thanks in advance, you guys are always great !

can whlvr 991 #2 Posted July 22, 2011 you can try to unhook the fuel line that enters the carb,put a jar or something to catch the fuel in and then crank over the engine to prime the pump and line,crank it for a a bit untill fuel pumps out,then hook back up and try that,it could be your float stuck closed too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
