Can someone tell me, how does this thing run when there's no obvious air filter?
Even though the machine is about 5 yrs old, it's like brand new. I was the first user, and have only put about 4 hrs on it over the past 3 yrs. When we got some snow last month, I could not get it to start. I did run it last summer just to check it out for the up coming season. While troubleshooting the problem, I could not locate any air filter.
I can get it to fire/start, by removing the spark plug, shooting quick burst of starting fluid into the head. The spark plug has good fire, had put fresh gas in.
Just puzzled, as this defies what I was thinking there should be some way for this engine to get air to the carb. I've looked at the schematics, and can not locate one.
Definitely have a fuel delivery problem. I would start and disconnect the fuel line at the carb,see if you have good gas flow. Could be float is stuck. If you do then you have a carb issue . If the carb has a fuel solenoid valve make sure that’s working. If it stuck in the close position it will not allow fuel to flow through to the main jet.
