The JW-10 has new coils, new condensers, plugs, and plug wires, Plugs are gapped, points have been cleaned and set. New carburetor kits. It was disassembled, soaked in carb cleaner in the can overnight. Ran down the carburetor passages with a wire tool and clean with air from the compressor. I also cleaned the tank and the internal filter and looked at the flow through the tank valve to make sure there is good flow. set everything based on the documentation I can find.
It starts right up but as I am trying to set the high and low, it will shut off. I do not mean you turned the screw too far off, just shutting off. It will start a couple of times after that but only run for a few seconds. The next day I can fire it right up and it does the exact same thing. It seems to get hot, But I do not know what the norm is so I cannot say it is running too hot. There is water coming out but it is not a whole lot, but I also know the intake tube is not that large and I did clean out around the cylinders when I have the head off to clean the passages, I also have a new impeller in it.
does anyone have thoughts as to why it may be shutting down?
