Atom Edger Model 415 - Problem - OutdoorKing Repair Forum

Hi All
I have an Atom Edger 415 model with the Zama C1q-p22 carb. It starts fine but cuts out when you rev it(will keep running if you choke it). I have put a kit in the carb,new fuel lines and fresh fuel. Still the same. It was running fine a few months ago then it wasn't used for awhile. Any hints? Also the joiner on the return fuel line, is it just a joiner or a check valve?

Hello stevea

I'm hoping a member will have experience with these.
The Atom site lists 3 different Model 415 types.

I guess you've looked through the manuals?

Hope this helps.

I know probably a little late on this one but when you rebuilt the carburetor did you set the metering lever height. Those in the kits are seldom right.

The first thing that you should have done was replace the fuel filter in the fuel tank. Then replace the kit in the carb after testing it because that is the cheapest option.
