B&S Hard Starting
- Thread starter Ariena
- Start date
I feel that your hard starting problem is caused by one of two things. One, the main jet is clogged. It is part of the float bowl bolt on the bottom of the carb. Remove the bolt and clean both vertically and horizontally. Reinstall. If this does not do the job, then you will have to go to solution number two. That would be to adjust the auto choke mechanism. I don't know how to post the porcedure to do that and I hope that someone else here can do that for you. It is to lengthy to type it out with out the appropriate illustrations. If no one comes along to do it I will see if I can get a friend to help out.

Are we talking about "One-Start Carburetor" because post 1 tells me that the choke isn't working..!
best thing to do is to take off the fan cover and air filter cover and post up some photo's of the carb and around the carb showing all the links that way am sure we can work something out.

Our Ready Start system means that the engine should start with minimal effort and little to no adjustments. Since there is no choke or primer on this engine, a thermostat regulates the fuel flow during start-up. Due to this fact, when a problem such as yours occurs, the unit should be looked at by an authorized service dealer who can be located via: http://bit.ly/o9JLPZ

Have a look at this video it may help you see how some of them work.

Take off the air filter you should see that the choke is closed when the engine is cold. You may well find that it will be open and that is why its hard to start from cold.

Not to trouble you for another photo, but I asked for a photo of the other side (which you provided) but I failed to ask that you remove the air filter & cover so we might see if indeed there "is" a choke.
