I could not find a replacement carb. There were no serial# or identification marks on the carb. I also cannot find and owner's manual online which would help in identifying the carb for this model. On this tack, I'm dead in the water.
That said, yesterday, I removed the carb, removed all jets, bowl, etc and gave all a thorough cleaning with Seafoam. I also sprayed all ports and holes etc with carb cleaner. Used almost a can to clean.
Filled with fresh gas and gave it a few pulls on the starter rope, and it began to start, on about 5 pull it started and ran fine for about 10 seconds then died. Almost sounds like it was starved for gas. Ab 'YES' the gas valve was in the 'ON' position.
I couldn't restart after that. At my wits end....
Thoughts ?
