4. Before the machine stops does it rev high?

Answer these so that we can give you the correct answers. cheers2


1. Yeah, I am suspecting this. Is it supposed to be a trickle, a little more then a trickle, or a gush with the tap is fully open... ?

2.The Metal O ring is there, bit warped over time, but still there.. where the intake sleeve connects to the motor. What should I be looking for it is not working as it's supposed to..?

3.Yes, the main screw is clean, triple checked this.

4. Yes, the machine does rev high before stopping, like it's run out of fuel. Moving the throttle lever to half way, does increase the "time of death" by 10 secs, which is why I suspect item 1 above.

Also in the carby I haven't replaced is the float (original), not sure if that would make a diff ?
