I installed it &amp; it now starts but then it cuts off. I installed a new spark plug air filter &amp; drained the gas. Do I need to adjust it?

hope you used new gas ! i got a pressure washer that done the same thing!! i changed air filter/spark plug/(fuel filter) and replaced carburetor!!!! did not have to do any adjustment!! works like a new one.

Installed new carburetor turned on gas and started on 2 nd pull. No adjustment needed. Did clean gas tank. Had been setting over 2 years. You could possibly have contaminated fuel. Mine worked great

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

Do you mean the main flame cuts off and must be reignited? We've never had a problem with our natural gas unit. Is your's propane or natural gas? Low line pressure could be the problem as could be the O2 senser.

This happened to me and I would try the following:1) If propane, make sure that your gas pressure isn't too high. Mine was (I think) 10psi and EZ tech support told me that it shouldl be 8psi (give them a call; they actually answer the phone and know what they're talking about.2) Make sure that the wiring harnesses haven't come apart during shipping. This involves removing the cover and pulling apart and re-inserting all connectors, one at a time.Good luck !!

should not be the one I have will start on 2nd pull with the choke check spark plug and the fire. did have to change the coil on the one I have and check the bowl on the the carb make shore its not gummed up . turn the fuel off and let it run out of gas .now if you are where its cold it will be hard to start you my have to pull on it 7 or 8 times my one will do it at about 50 f or below

I saw the same problem, and it refuse to light and all i smelled was gas coming out. Wrapped the gap with tin foil; lights on the first press of the piezo electric starter. If I need a better fuel/air ratio, I will poke a hole in the foil.

Mine was hard to start the first time, but is fine now. Still doesn't want to rev up quickly. I know this is a carb adjustment. 1st start after a long non-use period, I have to hold the throttle trigger fully down. It' hard to believe the part about the carb not being under a warranty. lm

Paul here. Verify your splice connection with OHM meter. if you get the error after the vehicle has run for a short time it is most likely a heater circuit fault. Exchange the sensor. I had the same problem with one on my Audi & replaced the universal unit with a OEM sensor. My universal unit failed after several miles.

like they say: ensure the chain brake is off, close to the handle. Ensure the engine cutoff is pulled all the way out. at least 6 prime pushes. choke all the way out, then 6 pulls. then choke halfway or all the way in, and one pull - boom it runs. I just started mine today after 3 years sitting unused. Put in fresh gas and it started right up, which impressed me a lot.

Does it do anything at all? Did you slide down the safety? Do you hear the click or hear gas coming out when you hold the button down? Are you positive you filled it properly? If its full and the button depresses (safety disengaged) but no gas comes out when you hold the button, you probably have a gas flow problem. If the button depresses and you don't hear the click of the spark... you probably have an issue with the ignition. Just be sure you're using it right before you decide its actually a bad unit. If its full and sparks properly... maybe also check the flow adjustment on the side to make sure its turned up enough.

Do you have a quick disconnect or a thread ends mines a thread end make sure you push it all the way on be for turned the gas on hope this helps if not go to YouTube you may find what you're looking for

Try cleaning the air hole on the gas cap first. I replaced the fuel pump, but still had stalling until I cleaned out the air hole in the gas cap.

Make sure your gas tank vent is open.The filter has four connections, make sure you're flowing (in/out) the gas in the right direction to your motor.Try it without the filter element in it.How low is the filter from the motor connection?Is the squeeze ball on backwards? Check arrows on ball.Could it be that the filter is dirty?Mine is working like it should, I'm on the second season with it.Maybe I have a 30gal through put total, not much. It's on a 2006 9.9M 4s.J

Be sure you're using good fresh 40:1 gas mix. If you aren't sure you can always buy some of the premixed stuff from the big box home improvement store. The other big thing is the choke on this is a bit tricky, make sure you pull it all the way out (the stop lever moves up into the running position when the choke is pulled all the way) then after a few pulls slowly press it back in to half choke, that is about 3/4 of the way back in. I start mine with the chain brake off, not sure if thats proper or not.

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

Try starting without the foam air cleaner filter. Replace the fuel (add stabilizer) and the little fuel filter in the tank. If that doesn't work change the plug. If all else fails save the auger bit and buy a new one...

I bought one of these carbs, bolted it on and it has worked great. Didn't make one adjustment. Sounds to me like you have a issue with fuel maybe getting to the carb. Normally what was thought to be too much fuel ends up being the exact opposite. Try taking the gas cap off and starting the machine. Maybe vapor lock? Check fuel filter if there is one, that it is not clogged. Collapsed fuel line? Is the bowl on the carb full of gas when the machine shuts off? Oh and to answer your question, the screw is most likely a idle air screw that can be adjusted to set idle speeds on the carb.
