Hi guys, I have a Jetfast edger with a 2hp Briggs motor on it. The engine will kick initially when pulled over but will not start. Things I have done are as follows: Originally when I got this it had no spark so I replaced the points ignition setup with a later model ignition. Has plenty of spark now and I have tried several spark plugs, all with the same outcome when attempting to start it. I have replaced the gasket between the carburettor and tank, I have replaced ther 2 gaskets between the carburettor assembly and the engine, the fuel intake tube and mesh filter are clear, the fuel jet is clear and the 2 holes in the carby inside the jet housing are clear, the fuel needle valve is undamaged, it has excellent compression and the valve clearance is ok, the choke mechanism is working properly and the mixture jet is set to approx. one and a half to two turns out, although I have tried different settings with no result. When fuel or carb cleaner is put directly into the carby it will fire and run very slowly for about 10 seconds, then stops and will not start again. Frustrated to say the least. Appreciate any input. I have attached a diagram of the model carburettor that is fitted to this edger.
