"2002--Nissan 4hp/4stroke--nsf4a2d
The float valve was stuck as some of you had suggested might be the problem in an earlier thread. After freeing the float valve the engine will now crank but will not idle. The only way the engine will crank is with the choke pulled out, even if the engine is warm. When I turn the throttle to idle--the engine will idle find for a few seconds but then it starts to die out. I can keep the engine running but I have to give it more gas with the throttle. When I return the throttle back to idle--after a few seconds it sounds as if the engine is running out of gas or is choking out. I have tried idling up the engine but that does not make a difference. If I leave the choke pulled out that seems to help “I think”. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I didn’t “mess” with anything else on the carb. but the float valve."
