Honda GX390 engine question
Original Message Dec 4, 2011 7:00 pm

I have a strange problem with my Honda GX390, 13HP engine. I replaced the carb. with a working one it did not help. The engine seems to run fine in low RPM. Once I open the throttle it dies. No problem to restart. Maybe there is an air leak but I can't figure it out where can it happen other than the carb. The gasket between the carb. and engine is in good condition. What else can I try?

Thanks

Bob

I know that on my GX390 the oil level is supposed to be right up to (bottom edge of the oil fill hole)
