About P.K. Jones Expertise I can answer most questions about commercial and residential outdoor equipment. I can also help with questions about import atv's, Karts and scooters. I can't help you with generator electrical output however if it's an engine problem, I'm more than happy to help.
I'm in the South, so snowblowers and snowmobiles are outside of my area of knowledge. If it's a question about the engine on a snowblower I can help. But I'm just not familiar with the drive systems for snowblowers.
Experience I own Grand Junction Small Engines and Grandjunctionsmallengines.com, a full service shop and national parts sales site. My shop is an Authorized Repair Center for many brands and we work on equipment from most manufacturers. We are also a dealer and service center for several lines of outdoor sports products such as atv's, utv's and Karts. Personally, I have over 25 years experience working with small engines and outdoor power equipment.
Education/Credentials I've attended many small engine and power equipment factory schools and seminars. I average 100 plus hours annually in update schools and specialized training schools and am current on all brands my shop is authorized to do warranty and factory service on.
Question I rebuilt the carb a week ago in which it worked fine for one mow.Now this week I tried to start it and it idled real high then cut off,I noticed the carb was spewing gas out and there is gas in my oil.I did some trouble shooting and noticed if I took the vacuum hose off the fuel pump it ran better do you have any suggestions what it may be?
Answer The needle isn't seating for one reason or another. The carb will need to be rebuilt again, or better yet replaced. The vacuum line off the pump is what makes the pump work. It's called the impulse line and without it hooked up, the pump won't pump.
Do not run this engine until the problem is fixed. Gas in the oil is the most common cause of broken rods. Thanks, PK.
