Craftsman 19.5 Flathead
Model 971-270-821
Engine Model 42E707 Type 2631E1
Symptoms were... Runs fine for a while then dies gas spraying out of carb.
Repair attempts... Rebuilt carb, now it wont start at all. I have fuel to carb. It will start and run fine if I pour gas in the top of the carb. After reading around on teh web I decided I needed to adjust the valves assuming not enough vacuum to operate fuel pump. Then realized that all of those posts were for OHV engines which mine is not. Based on some thread I have pulled of one of the heads (stupid I know) I'll pick up a new gasket today and put that back on.
Q:1
Do I need to adjust the valves? If so? where is access and what is procedure?
Q:2
Any ideas as to why fuel not getting into carb?
Thanks in advance,
Terall
