Walbro carb for wildthing (poulan) Chain saw

Anyone have this prob with carb?

I have replaced the acetone pump and gasket, and the regulator and gasket. Pretty sure that I have everything in the right order. I have checked the fuel lines 10 times but I can't get it to prime correctly. I did have the lined to the primer bulb backwards and could not push fuel into the carb (obviously) so then I switched them and now it creates a vacuume but fuel won't get into the bulb. Sometimes the bulb wont expand. Any ideas?

Sounds like the carb is clogged and needs cleaning.

((acetone pump and gasket,,& regulator and gasket.)) Don't really know what you mean by this.. If the bulb sometimes won't expand, then I suspect the carb needs a good cleaning with a new kit installed

sounds like you have the two gaskets switched the thin gasket goes next to the carb.Maybe that will help.

Craftsman 200 mph leaf blower

J

jimbo53 on Apr 08, 2006

I have a Craftsman 200 mph leaf blower. Model #358.797180 I can start the blower, but it won't stay running unless I have the choke half closed. I have removed the carb and cleaned the needle valve and I have tried to run it without the fuel filter and it still does the same thing. I would like to try and adjust the carburetor, but I cannot turn the screws. There is hardly enough room to get a needle nose pliers to turn the screws, and I can't turn the screws with a tweezers, it is just to tight. There is no slot for a screwdriver, the screw is just knurled. Is there a special tool I need to turn the adjusting screws?Read More

Honda HRR2168VKA will not start

J

johnkatkus on Jul 01, 2012

I purchase a reconditioned Honda HRR2168VKA that has an auto choke. When I got home, put in new oil and know good gas, checked the spark plug for the correct gap, and checked the air cleaner. All appeared to be ok. Tried to start and pulled 10 times, the engine popped a couple of times but did not start. Went back and rechecked what I did and did not find anything wrong. Removed the air cleaner and sprayed some starting fluid in the carb – I really do not like doing this, but was trying to find the issue. After 3 pulls the engine started. Good, all is well, but not really. Put the air cleaner back on and now it will not start. If I remove the air cleaner, the engine will start. I also noticed that the engine runs a full speed and I think this is normal as there is no throttle adjustment on this mower. Do you think this might be a carb issue or an auto choke issue? I have ordered the shop manual, but was wondering where to start. Thanks for any help that you can offer. :wall:Read More
