O & R Carb Repair Tutorial

Recommended Posts

With some tinkering around I got it to run, with a caveat.  Playing with the primer I was able to get the engine to run with the carb half open and the needle open to about 2.5 turns.  I backed the needle out further and I was able to run it with the carb fully open.  It ran this way for about 2-3 minutes then shut off, flooded or starved I'm guessing.  I made some adjustments and went to pull it again and the cord pulled almost freely, there was little engagement.  A couple more pulls and little engagement.  I played around with it some more and it was cool now and engaging again.  Do these heat up that quickly and the parts are that loose this happens, or is mine more loose than typical?  

 

I haven't tried to restart it since cool down as I wonder if something else potentially happened.
