Hello all, I can't get this thing to run off choke.
I replaced the fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel and spark plugs. I checked compression at 120 psi in both cylinders. Spark was checked with a plug at 0.060" gap to check power of spark and both cylinders sparked fine. I re-gapped at 0.030.
I rebuilt the carb, blew out all passages with carb cleaner/compressed air. I am on round 3 of tearing this down and blowing out each port.
While it is running while choked, dropplets of fuel are spraying out of the carb throat onto me and everything else in the area. When I shut it down, I can see fuel puddled at the collector below the carb. Plugs aren't wet.
Any suggestions? Thanks
