Paul,
Is it possible to have issues on the idle carb circuit specially at first starts or cold restarts and no issues once engine is warm. I'm a big fan or running carb bowl and sometimes fuel filter dry. When outing next day or days after, go through the entire process of opening tank vent and priming bulb untill firm, put grip to start position and pull choke all tthe way out. Usually at second pull the engine starts fine but will die seconds later if a combined throtttle/choke movements is not done for some time untill engine stabilizes itself. Once engine is warm presents no issues specially at idle/fast idle while at neutral.
This is a 2 stroke 18 HP with 250 meterd worked hours, tha carb has not beeen pulled once fron new, tank is regularly cleaned along all fuel filters which has been found immaculate clean 99.98 of the times. Was wondering if it's time for a complete carb bath in carb dip and generic carb spray overdose ?
