Re: mercarb float setting
Do you have an engine serial number handy, model number, or a year, or carb number?
Finally have the engine number. B459311
It has the Mercarb but I have to get the number off the tag. Had all this recorded until " the hard drive incident"
Have possibly zeroed in on a sticky float valve. Both original and carb kit replacement seem to stick.
If you give the carb a little
tap, it will start and run beautifully for another 20-30 seconds. I'm thinking that's about when the bowl is dry and the tap is unsticking the valve and refilling the bowl and the valve re-sticking.
Any thoughts on this? At least I'm getting lots of practice removing and installing a carb.
