russellmc301 600 #1 Posted September 4, 2016 i try to start it and it just like blows stuff out the frount of the air cleaner and seems like nothing comes out of the muffler. i toke the carb apart and i tried to fix the float and i got it to stop leaking. any recommandations on what to do? i think i will order a new float since my 2 have repairs or have a hole. the carb is off a k181 that ran till the rod broke. no one has seem this engine run as far as the owner has said. it has a good spark and i get a nice jolt if i hold the wire and spin the wheel. any idea's what could be wroung with be great.

AMC RULES 37,196 #2 Posted September 4, 2016 Humm...the muffler isn't all blocked up, is it? Critters, rust...have been known to make this happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Hankins 80 #3 Posted September 4, 2016 Blowing out the carb would be stuck intake valve or valve not closing all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russellmc301 600 #5 Posted September 4, 2016 well im sorry for making your brains work, happly it was i forgot to take the paper out and it fired right up. purred harley when i was seeing if the muffler was the problem and once i put it on it sounded untuned but not that bad for not running if 19 years or more.
