First off hi all. newb here. I like to think I'm a fair backyard mechanic. Like most I suspect and need for help led me here.
I have a 8HP L head 190412 runs 1 min and stalls. It is on a 1988 Homelite Generator.
I have been chasing this problem for a while. I have:
-replaced fuel lines and inline filter.
-replaced carb (med flo-jet)
-replaced plug
-put on a used coil
I have homemade inline spark tester that shows spark. I have run with out fuel cap. all no change.
I have pulled muffler and soaked exhaust valve with LMT, as well as putting in plug hole.
I have been told low oil shut off could be suspect, but I do not see that this engine has a low shut off sensor.
I have owned since new, and other than being lazy and storing with gas, I do not know of any issues. It has always run fine until this.
I am hoping someone can shed some light. All replies are appreciated. Thanks for lookin.
Thanks,
Jim
