johnkennedy Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 mine does this when fuel is low. if you tank was full, perhapps you have a blockage in you fuel pipe or carb jetts?? that is all i can think of. i am guessing it ran perfecty before this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoog Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's been doing it for about a month now, i'll clean the carb and jets and see what happends. It ran great before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Hunting at idle usually indicates a slightly lean condition. Disassemble and blow out the carb passages with compressed air. Also if there was a large change in conditions then the jetting can be slightly off. Usually this just an issue when the temperature changes dramatically like between winter and summer. While you've got the carb apart make sure your floats aren't binding on the bowl gasket and are set at the correct height.

copemech Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 WATER! in the bowl! Will give you fits! All it takes is a drop or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoog Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've cleaned out the carb, there was fine dirt at the mouth of the carb, this must have got through the air filter, I'll see what happens. How do you know if the engine is getting hot, the fan cuts in and out but can you adjust the temp sender to come in at a lower temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
