Troubleshooting Fuel System

Carburetor Adjustment

NOTE: Carburetor adjustments should be made only

after the engine has warmed up.

The carburetor is designed to deliver the correct fuel-

to-air mixture to the engine under all operating

conditions. The main fuel jet is calibrated at the factory

and is not adjustable*. The idle fuel adjustment needle

is also set at the factory and normally does not need

adjustment. If the engine is hard starting or does not

operate properly, however, it may be necessary to

adjust or service the carburetor.

*NOTE: Engines operating at altitudes above

approximately 1830 m (6000 ft.) may require

a special high altitude main jet. Refer to

High Altitude Operation later in this section.

Figure 5-3. Fixed Main Jet Carburetor.

Condition

Possible Cause/Probable Remedy

1a. Low idle fuel mixture/speed improperly adjusted. Adjust the low idle

speed screw, then adjust the low idle fuel needle.

b. Improper choke adjustment.

1. Engine starts hard, runs roughly or

stalls at idle speed.

2. Engine runs rich. (Indicated by

black, sooty exhaust smoke,

misfiring, loss of speed and power,

governor hunting, or excessive

throttle opening).

2a. Choke partially closed during operation. Check the choke lever/

linkage to ensure choke is operating properly.

b. Low idle fuel mixture is improperly adjusted. Adjust low idle fuel

needle.

c. Float level is set too high. With fuel bowl removed and carburetor

inverted, the exposed surface of float must be parallel with the

bowl gasket surface of the carburetor body.

d. Dirt under fuel inlet needle. Remove needle; clean needle and

seat and blow with compressed air.

e. Bowl vent or air bleeds plugged. Remove fuel bowl, low idle fuel

adjusting needle, and welch plugs. Clean vent, ports, and air

bleeds. Blow out all passages with compressed air.

f. Fuel bowl gasket leaks. Remove fuel bowl and replace gasket.

g. Leaky, cracked, or damaged float. Submerge float to check for

leaks.

3. Engine runs lean. (Indicated by

misfiring, loss of speed and power,

governor hunting, or excessive

throttle opening).

3a. Low idle fuel mixture is improperly adjusted. Adjust low idle fuel

needle.

b. Float level is set too low. With fuel bowl removed and carburetor

inverted, the exposed surface of float must be parallel with the

bowl gasket surface of the carburetor body.

c. Idle holes plugged; dirt in fuel delivery channels. Remove fuel

bowl, low idle fuel adjusting needle, and welch plugs. Clean main

fuel jet and all passages; blow out with compressed air.

4. Fuel leaks from carburetor.

4a. Float level set too high. See Remedy 2c.

b. Dirt under fuel inlet needle. See Remedy 2d.

c. Bowl vent plugged. Remove fuel bowl and clean bowl vent. Blow

out with compressed air.

d. Float is cracked or damaged. Replace float.

e. Bowl retaining screw gasket damaged. Replace gasket.

f. Bowl retaining screw loose. Torque screw to specifications.
