This one has me stumped. Blower starts on choke, but idles rough and when I open choke it runs down and dies as if starving for fuel. Ive been thru all the usual checks and changes, including, in progressive order.......
drained tank and put in fresh mix fuel and pumped through carb to flush. Replaced fuel filter. Replaced both fuel lines, and yes they are plugged in correctly. Loosened cap for venting( is this tank vented in some way?) Removed, cleaned carb and kitted it( suspected fuel pump). Replaced carb.
At the end of all these steps, no change in behavior! At full throttle the only way it will run close to speed is with choke nearly closed. Are these machines susceptible to vacumm leaks enough to cause this?
Any and all tips appreciated.
