Hi, I have an old HR2160 with a GXV140 engine,
The old carb had areas of rust particularly around the float so I replaced the carb, it used to surge which I was guessing was down to a clog somewhere but seen as I was replacing the carb I didn't bother cleaning.
I've now replaced the spark plug, BPR5ES and replaced oil and air filter.
The issue I'm getting now is it cuts out after 10-30 seconds, it won't restart unless it gets at least 5 mins rest.
It cut out before but after 10 minutes or so, I thought replacing carb and servicing would solve the issue but it's now worse.
I can only guess it's not getting fuel quick enough to keep running
I've tried to match the screw settings to the old one, the float looks roughly the same movement although the float pin is slightly different, the new one has like a valve in it
I'm pretty certain that the float is the issue, what do you think ?
Update.
Now when it starts I can get the rotor to work, but once I stop it, it won't restart without a break, I know it's old but 5 minutes work and needs a rest ?
