Past/Present clients I have worked on small air/water cooled engines for 34 Years. I performed warranty work for Lowes of Wilson and other retailers in the area. I Own a Yard Maintenance and Certified Small Engine Repair Service Center.
Question I have a 12" Sears 2.0 saw that has been neglected for several years. I have cleaned fuel tank and filter, replaced fuel lines, replaced foam air cleaner, and attempted to clean and rebuild Wablo carburetor, using universal Wablo kit, K10-WAT. Now, I choke for two pulls, open choke, saw starts and runs for a few seconds, as it runs, fuel begins to overflow from tank filler cap and engines stops.
I assume that I made some mistake with the carburetor? The kit had a replacement fuel pump diaphragm, but the did not have a valve diaphragm that matched the old one, so I re-used the old one. Could that be the problem? Two parts places told me this is the right kit, why wouldn't it have the correct diaphragm?
Answer Hello Mac:
Did you look at a D2WA&T Carb Kit? The Model Number of the Saw will Help me. Does this Carb have a Fuel Return? The Diaphram Does need to be Replaced and the Small Needle Under the Diaphram has a Specific Setting Also. You will Need to Locate a Diaphram. Send me the Model of the Saw and I will Look in my Catalog for the Kit or Replacement Diaphram for you. Hope this Helps.
