Jiangdong 5.5 hp motor (Honda Clone) mounted on snow blower. While blowing snow the plastic fuel gauge in tank disintegrated falling into tank. Removed tank and cleaned. Found rubber plug to fill hole. Next time I used the blower ran fine. After use I noticed a puddle of gas on floor. Forgot to shut off fuel valve. Gas was coming out between carb and motor intake. Figured piece of plastic got pass screen filter at fuel shut off holding float open. Removed carb and disassembled. Cleaned with carb clean. Blew everything out with air. Reassembled. Put back on motor. Changed oil as it had gas in it. Engine starts fine but throttle plate stays at about 80% causing very high rpm. If I hold throttle at idle it run fine. Checked governor adjustment is fine. Ordered new carb installed and same problem. Governor linkage is fine. Could new cab be junk also? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Brad
