Needs some help here guys. Gotta redmax GZ500 on my bench. Came in half running. would run ok but as soon as I let off throttle it would instantly die,messed with carb adjustments and really didn't change anything. So I rebuilt the carb,still the same thing, changed plug ,fuel filter and lines, same reaction. Noticed it was wanting to flood,went back in and made sure metering lever was at right height, it was fine. tried starting again,wants to pop but nothing else, still flooding. So I ordered a brand new never used carb from Ebay put it on tonight and it's still doing the exact same things I've also changed the primer bulb. I'm starting to think the primer bulb is the problem, I read a post somewhere about one being a problem and the person ran lines away from it to eliminate it and the problem was solved, by the way compression is at 145psi and piston and cylinder looks great I'm at a loss for what to do next
