Trimmer (John Deere T105C - 2009) didn't start at all, so I cleaned the old carb, no luck. I replaced
- carb
- spark plug (tested, it sparks)
- fuel filter
- fuel lines
- air filter
I adjusted the throttle cable because it was loose, (worked, but was loose)
Now it runs great if I spray carb cleaner in it first, but won't start normally. I can do the whole yard with it running fine, but if I turn it off, it won't start again, even hot. It DOES seem to want to shut off if I leave it idling longer than a few seconds, and it's idling high enough that the head still turns.
I've noticed that it leaks from the gas cap. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with whether or not it will start, but I've been unsuccessful finding a replacement gas cap. I purchased one online, but it also leaked, so I'm still using the original.
I'm at the end of my small engine knowledge.
This carb is the 2 hole carb like the one below. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated:
