Hi all,
my PLT-3043 has probably been used about 15 times only and now it only runs sensibly on half choke. If I set the lever to the normal position I have to rev it's nuts off to keep it running. Half choke is sort of ok but a bit rich.
If I dismantle the carby and remove the diaphragm there are a few small holes that I probe with the plastic bristle of a washing up brush...after reassembly it runs well but only for 5 minutes or so, I've done this about 4 times now!

Hope someone can help!!

Thanks - Mark
