No, no no! You guys are all wrong. The problem is with the prop!!!

 

[TomFL]

The prop is fine!
The problem is usually with the nut attached to the tiller.

So HE'S the one with the leaky gas?

Who's on first?

:-?

Float valve not functioning properly would be my guess.
The needle is probably gummed up and not seating.

I was right!
I was right!

I'm so easily entertained...

I'm happy and sad. I'm glad Whitesnooky got his motor running, and happy Brett (again) was right, but this means my diagnosis of the prop pitch being off was incorrect.

Rat's azz.........

I'm going to go drink some more B-12 Chemtool, and hope I can offer better fix-it info on the next troubleshooting report.

Brett,

U assume that's a guess the needle is not seating property.

It's takes only 1 and half hour to do it then it's all good.

It's a lot easier than I thought to rebuilt it.

Now I'm gotta prove NoeEttica that 4-stroke are not dogs!   Prop her right and boost the carb then it will scream like a mothercrappity smacker.

Well you kids be careful and don't get your fingers caught in any timing belts while you're tuning up that little 4-banger.

Just in case you guys blow it up while installing an intercooled procharger or something Dave's got my old little 8-horse as a backup.

Ohhh Shrek ! That realy cut me ...

U should know I'm playing with ya!

NoeEttica,

What propeller are u using on your 15hp with 13footer?  9 x 8 4 blade with cupped?

Just curious to know.

Somehow I sense another carb leak coming.....
