Husqvarna tiller - Honda engine - runs when choked, stalls when unchoked

[trx680]

Bought a new Husqvarna tiller last year. It has the Honda engine. It has run great til now. I

It will only run when choked. Then I unchoke it the engine dies. I dumped the gas ad put new gas in it, didnt help.

Any ideas?

Get a gasket set for the carb and a spray can of carb cleaner. I normally use B-12 that comes with a straw that you stick in the nozzle (good for spraying into the little holes). Take the carb apart then clean it really good. I mean use the whole can of cleaner. What I do is spray the parts over a coffee can so that some of cleaner is captured then i drop every thing in there for a while just to make sure. The problem is that the ethanol destabilizes the gasoline after about 3 months, leaving a nice gummy residue in the carb.

I was told to run premium in the small engines because it has less ethanol or to run a fuel stabilizer in it.

hope this helps.
good luck
