I'm working on a 60something cc 6.5 amp generator. I think I'm either going to have to rebuild the carb or just buy a new one. Its been a pain in the ass. Any tips on working on these 2 stroke engines? I've pulled the carp apart cleaned all components pulled the needle and the float off and there were tons of either rust or carbon build up. Cleaned it all up made sure that the parts would fit back and the needle still sticks a little bit. But the carb still has flow from the gas inlet to the needle. Still cant get it to run without some sort of starting lubricant. push it in the carb for about 2 seconds. It will start. Idle for about 3 seconds then try to die again. Fuel lines are clean, fuel switch clean, brand new tank. Only thing I could think of is something in the carburetor
Sounds like you still have gunk in the carb, the needle sticking won't be helping either, try to get the needle valve to move freely, if not get a new one. The sticking needle valve won't be allowing any fuel into the carb bowl (if it sticks closed). Some carbs have a removable needle valve seat so check that as well.
@@MegaDirtyberty thanks for the tips. I got the needle and the float moving freely. But now the float won’t float in the fuel and force the needle to stop the gas flow and the carb overflows. I think I’m going to just buy a new one to put on. And rebuild this one for a different project.
