Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Carb on 1BSXS 1901VF 275228 B&S, power washer, tinges
QuestionI have a Genrac Power washer with the 6.0m HP B&S 1BSXS.1901VF 275228 engine. The carb is a little varnished up (because of neglect when stored) Motor will fire when hand primmed but will not run. I cleaned the bowl and sprayed carb cleaner into the carb but I am thinking the jet and possible venturi may be clogged. What can I do to get it working again?
Answerhi pete
yes if carb has green gum / varnish ( make sure that carb body has no blue tinges in it ) this may be metals comming out of carb casting) if so replace carb , if not it sounds like carb is main nozzle is blocked , and posibly main jet , check bowl vent and and idle air bleed holes as well
take carb off and soak in carb cleaner for 1/2 hour give real good clean and clear ( may have to use a small wire to help clear holes and make sure no restriction exsists
provided flow from tank to carb is good and o ring and manifold joint are tight and have no leaks engine should run .
give it a go
