the carb is probably the problem, regardless of brand, (but sometimes it matteres). how long and where did you leave it in the winter? it the gas old? are you using the primer? is the gasoline mixed? are you getting good compression ? have a good day

Mantis Question

Just aquired it and it starts when it is choked, but will only stay running
when it is chocked, if I accelerate and close the choke it runs for a awhile wants to stall out unless I close the choke. what do you think is happening here ???? Any help guys??

 

[oscaryu1]

the choke is supposed to stay open when accelerating, it needes more air to run faster. if you run at full speed with choke wide open and you close choke it will stall.
