Hif44 Carb Gradually Becomes Too Rich


Best Answer Dfitzy , 30 June 2017 - 08:51 PM

The o-ring on the choke spindle was dry as a bone. It cracked as soon as I handled it, which is a good sign because I'm totally out of ideas past that. That could certainly explain the excess fueling.

 

I'll come back in a few days if it slowly goes downhill again.

Any update?
 
I seem to have similar problems with my carburetor. :/
Doing well for a short while at idle and slowly die or if I revving up it dies quickly, but will usually start again before stopping completely.
 

So annoying

Yes mine ended up being the little o-ring that's on the choke mechanism when you pull it out of the carb. Runs great now.
