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

Mark try replacing the screen(filter) in the carby

Thanks Bruce,

what does it look like and where in the carby is it? The carby only seems to have about 4 parts! venturi body, diaphragm, bulb...er I think that's it

The screen that I am talking about is HERE
