That engine may have a fuel solenoid, if so is that working OK.

Are you referring to the anti-afterfire switch on the bottom of the fuel bowl?

 

[EngineMan]

Yes that is right.

Yes that is right.

What is the best way to test it? I guess if it is closed, no fuel gets to the cylinders.

ANTI-AFTERFIRE SOLENOIDS
Begin troubleshooting the solenoid by checking for battery voltage at the spade connector (with the key switch in the start as well as the run position). The next check is to listen at the bowl of the carburetor for a distinct click when the ignition switch is turned to the on position. If a distinct click is not heard, remove the solenoid for further testing. To test the solenoid itself, attach one pole of a 9 volt transistor radio battery to the spade terminal and the other pole to the solenoid case or black ground wire if so equipped. A sharp distinct movement of the plunger should be seen.

A fuel shutoff valve must be all the way open to allow full fuel delivery. Anything less may be
responsible for a restriction in fuel delivery.

Thank you for all the info. I will check this out.

Could it be the float height?
Is that adjustable?
