ok hello again i just got my blaster to star but it wont stay running i put fuel in the cylinder and it only stayed running untill the fuel was gone and i cleaned the carb thismorining again and i belive the reads are good and it has good compression... what could it be thanks guys
carb i think
- Thread starter blasterracer817
- Start date
nope fuel gets to the bowl but after that is like it poops out oo the vent idk ill have to check that but how does that effect the motor from running??
a clogged vent line will stop ur fuel flow to the carb........the gas tank has to breath, considering the carb is gravity fed fuel
example.........suck soda up in a straw, then put your tongue over the hole and lift the straw outta the soda......the soda that is in the straw will not come out, same idea with the vent
yea i know lol but i gets fuel to the bowl and flows good so im thinkin its the inerds of the carb but ive cleaned it twice yesturday and once today
yep i did i need to find more cleaner and spray it out and blow it out again but i dont think its just the carb idk im gonna go screw with it again
I know you've done a lot of carburetor cleaning lately, but something is still clogged. Like has been said, I bet at least the main fuel circuit is partially blocked. When you have the fuel bowl off, physically unscrew the main and pilot jets and blow them out with carb. cleaner. Then, take the can of carb. cleaner to the needle jet, which is located below the main jet, inside the 'tower' in the center of the carb. Let it soak for a bit, blow up through this hole with compressed air, and reassemble everything.
Also, look down the throat of the carburetor (where the hose from the airbox attaches) to be sure that none of passages you see in there are clogged. These passages are your main and idle air bleeds, and if one of them becomes blocked with a piece of debris, the engine may not recieve any fuel from the carburetor. Hope this helps. Carburetors are tricky and may require several attempts to get working again... B)
