Nikki carb questions

I agree with you. Stupid shows up so many places.

Ok , now you are just making fun of me! Pulling your leg. I'm the guy had a senior moment and lit my mower on fire. The cylinder was full of fuel, I pulled the spark plug rolled the engine over to clear the cylinder using the starter and the spark touched her off . Thankfully I got it out quick and was able to work through that. I was in too big a hurry.

Accidents do happen as that why we got to be careful around equipment.

The choke return spring is a small light spring and after several years they tend to fail but can be replaced. And you may have an issue with the main jet o ring again on the older carbs that little bitty o ring drys out and let the main jet get loose and instead of it being able to regulate the fuel it leaks around the jet causing it to over fuel.

When I was a service manager at a local JD dealer, the small engine and rider customers consumed much of my time with "stupid".

JD and aftermarket warranty were both difficult to get approvals through and of course the customer feedback survey was a tool the customers abused often.

Many of the problems were bad fuel issues from machines sitting way too long. Down here in rural South Texas, many people only have a very short cutting season in the Spring, and they also love to buy the cheapest E10 fuel the can find.

Unless the customer emptied their fuel and run the equipment dry, they just keep repeating the same problems over and over season after season.

That definitely was part of the problem, when I got this mower it had set along time with old fuel. All the fuel lines were plugged. A lot of cleaning for sure
