Hard starting Briggs & Stratton 3.0 hp lawnmower engine
The longer one pumps too much gas. The flow of gas keeps a
small basin (in the fuel tank) full. The short tube supplies the gas to the carb. By keeping the small basin (at top of the tank) full, the engine always has the same distance of lift for the fuel, even when the tank is nearly empty. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "muzician21" wrote in message ... I got a new diaphragm, but looking at the old diaphragm, it looks to be intact and in good shape. The material still seems pliable, I held it up to a light and can't find any breaks in it, including where the choke plate rod is attached. The longer of the two pickup tubes had a fair amount of crud on the screen, which I've cleaned off. Gonna put it back together with the old diaphragm and see if it starts any easier with that pickup cleaned off. If it does, I'll store the new diaphragm in the refrigerator for future use. And why are there two pickup tubes and why are they different lengths? |
