I just ran my newly rebuilt 18 hp (18304A) and observed a condition I have not noticed before which may or may not be normal.
While this motor is not running as I had hoped it would at this point I'm rather sure the carburetor is the issue. I could not get the high speed orifice plug out for inspection / cleaning nor the plastic "bearing" sleeve from the back of the low speed needle orifice .. hoping they would not be an issue.
The condition I'm referring too is a "sweating" around the back of the carb and the intake manifold as the motor ran. So much so that when the motor was shut down a milky mixture of water/fuel dripped out of the throat of the carb. ?? No doubt this water mixture is being drawn in as fuel and is effecting how it is running. What would be the likely cause of this?
