TimH 105 #1 Posted June 11, 2016 86 312-A Stalling Seems like it's running out of gas. Will run ok for a few min. Then only with choke on a little bit Then runs ok for a few min. more. I just filled with gas. Al fluids are ok. I did find darn thing doesn't have a fuel filter on it. Need suggestion of what fuel filter to install ? Any suggestion on what else ?

Bert 760 #2 Posted June 11, 2016 The screen in the tank may be clogged I'd clean or remove it and add an inline filter. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,106 #3 Posted June 11, 2016 Also try loosening the gas tank cap...the vent hole could be plugged. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH 105 #4 Posted June 11, 2016 Screen was messed up. I removed it Installed a fuel filter. But had to get a new rubber grommet. Removed gas cap Still running the same. Removed carb Seems to be pretty clean in the bowl. I will tear it apart and soak it in carb cleaning machine for a while. Gas line from the fuel pump to carb needed replaced anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,106 #5 Posted June 11, 2016 Test the fuel supply to the carb by removing the line at the carb. Then while holding the line in a container, have someone crank the engine, You should see a good strong spurting from the fuel pump. This is also a good way to clean out any debris after changing lines, filters fuel pumps, , etc. before it gets pushed into the carb. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH 105 #6 Posted June 11, 2016 I got the carb torn down. Nothing like a motorcycle carb. On a motorcycle when you have to run the engine with the choke. It's the low speed needle that has some on the holes plugged. I can see the main needle, but have no idea how to get to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH 105 #7 Posted June 11, 2016 Looks like a walboro Carb Takes special tools to do a total service ? Any advise ? I see the pic of the brass spacer looks like it's broke Here is a better pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gas comes out spurting as the engine cranks over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimH 105 #10 Posted June 12, 2016 Left in Altra Sonic Carb cleaner for 1 hour. Put it back together Made preset adjustments Now to re install on engine and see how it runs, FYI Goldwing and VTX carbs are a lot easier to clean LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH 105 #11 Posted June 12, 2016 Well Engine seems to be running well, Better than it ever has. Now I notice the Governor Kicking in. I think the carb needs some adjustment Any procedure that's best ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
