[QUOTE="11B3G, post: 270724, member: 8989"] OK.... So I mixed some new fuel in a little one gallon container..drained the old fuel from the motor.. removed the carb and cleaned it.. put it all back together and ran the new fuel through it...I am able to get it started after 3 pulls the first time I start it and then in 1 to 2 pulls there after... It's running but it seems like it is flooding out a lot.... I went through 1/3 of a gallon, and I only had it running 30-40 seconds at a time, and I had only started it maybe 4 times...It is spitting fuel out the front end of the carb then dying... I checked the float in the bowl and its not sticking so...my question: Could it be the low speed adjusting needle on the top of the carb? Some models came with a high speed needle located at the bottom of the bowl but this model does not have that...btw, this is a pull start model. I feel as if I have made slight progress towards getting it running..just not sure how to restrict the fuel to the point where its not pouring out the front end of the carb..any suggestions? Thank you guys!! [/QUOTE]
