I feel like I’ve tried everything with this motor... model #J25RLESB. It was running fine a few weeks ago. Tried to start it up last week and wouldn’t start. Noticed the primer on my hose was breaking down so replaced that. It’s got the manual pump-to-prime system, and I noticed a backup somewhere in there. Cleaned that out and replaced those hoses. There was some dark liquid spitting out of intake manifold into primer hose when I pulled rope... detached hose, turned engine over until all of it was gone.
Now, engine is very difficult to start but will get going with primer out. I’ve followed all the start-up procedures in the manual. Sprayed out the carb several times and made sure there are no cloggs. Carburetor bowl is filling up and primer bulb is firm. Spark is strong. When it does start, engine cuts out a few seconds after I push the primer back in. I’ve tried idle adjust screw.
Please help me!! I’ll try anything!! Open to any ideas.
