Hi,
I just picked up an older B&S model 81902 and can't get it to run properly. If I pour gas in the carb it will run nicely until the gas is used up and then stalls. If I choke it I can get it to run a couple seconds longer. Pouring a bit of gas in the carb once it is already running does not make it go any longer. I've removed the needle and cleaned the port and tried a different carburator, all with the same results. Its got a rusty old tank with a hole in the small compartment that the short fuel pipe goes into. I'm not sure how the fuel system works exactly but could this be the problem or is there anything else I should check? Thanks.
