Make sure that you have the fuel lines hooked back up correctly.

Likely a fuel line issue.

Here is a pic of the carb.

Here is the one I sell, the cable has the z-bend end.

Yes, the units have had some minor changes, the throttle cable ends, and slight changes in the air filter assembly, handle, etc.., but the 4140 powerhead has been pretty consistant. The throttle cable end change has forced me to include the throttle cable with the carb on my listings. Also...

Was the throttle cable ends different?

I am aware of the procedure, was just wanting to find out if you meant 1/4" of the piston travel, or 1/4 of a revolution of the flywheel.

"by finding TDC and then continuing 1/4 down" Elaborate on this a little.

I doubt it, it looks like it is a unique coil to the hedge trimmers. 4249 400 1300

We need some model numbers off of the engine.

I never put any back on.

There is a limiter to prevent richening up the screws very much, so pulling them is what is next to be able to richen them further.

Have you tried just richening up the mixture screws? The "primer" looks to be operating OK. It is actually a "purge" and pulls fresh gas through the carb and returns the excess to the tank. You might just pull the limiter caps and richen up your screws.

Adjust the valves. if it is OHV. Post the engine's model numbers.

What is the model number on the shaft?

Has anyone replaced the needle. The needle seat can be polished with a q-tip and an abrasive paste.

Here is a snip of another one.

Have you adjusted the valves?

Also put up the last set of numbers {code}, your engine likely has points, which could also be giving you trouble.

Try to till again, but partially engage the choke, and see if it does better. That will tell us if it is a fuel/air problem.

No, it is just the pic.

Sounds like it is flooding. Dump out all of the fuel and pull the rope until it starts, and burn off all of that excess fuel firstly. It should run great at the end as it burns the fuel out then stalls. The inlet needle in the carb is likely leaking, did it come in your kit?
