How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
For each intake cycle of the engine, the engine draws a small amount of fuel from the lower fuel chamber past the low speed mixture circuit. The drawn fuel opens the fuel flow seat and the engine vacuum actually draws the fuel from the fuel supply pipe via the upper chamber.
Most carburetors have a unique identification number that can be used to confirm its make, model, and specifications. The carburetor number is typically located on a metal tag attached to the carburetor. On most aftermarket carburetors, this ID is stamped or etched directly onto the carburetor body.
To arrive at the most appropriate carburetor choice, there`s a basic formula: engine displacement multiplied by maximum rpm divided by 3,456. For example: a typical 355ci small-block—a 0.030-over rebuild—with a 6,000-rpm max engine speed would work well with a 616-cfm carb ((355 x 6,000) 3,456 = 616.32).
This would cause the engine to stumble. To address this most carburetors employ what`s called an accelerator pump, which is essentially a gasoline squirt gun that shoots fuel into the throat of the carburetor to enrich the air-fuel mixture in the brief moment before engine vacuum returns.
Components of carburetors usually include a storage chamber for liquid fuel, a choke, an idling (or slow-running) jet, a main jet, a venturi-shaped air-flow restriction, and an accelerator pump. The quantity of fuel in the storage chamber is controlled by a valve actuated by a float.
Consult your manual first to find the stock size. Also pay attention to the numbers on the side of your old jets, which you`ll be able to see in the steps to come. A larger jet number means a bigger hole and more fuel. A smaller jet number has smaller holes and should be used if your engine needs to run leaner.
It`s like a “VIN” for your carburetor and should be hand-stamped on the front of the choke tower to the right of the vent tube on most typical Holley carbs. The list number typically is four to six digits long and may or may not have a suffix number behind it. The date code will be right below it.

Poulin p3314 gas runs out carb
ANSWER : Set the H and L jet screws CW to stops (lightly), then CCW 1-3/4 turns each. This is a basic setting and both need to be turned CW somewhat when the engine runs. Recheck the lower chamber in the carburetor for correct installation of the needle, seat, spring, fulcrum, and diaphragm. Go to: www.drystacked.com for a detailed look at Walbro brand carburetors. Even if you do not have a Walbro carburetor, the principles are much the same. Make sure the fuel tank vent is open.

Where does the fuel line from tank with filter fit on walbro carb.also where does the primer line go?
ANSWER : The fuel line from the tank fits to the main fuel inlet on the carb ( the inlet nearest to the alloy pump cover secured by a single screw), the other conection on the carb has a pipe that conects to the shortest conection on the back of the primer ( suction side ) a pipe then goes from the longer conection on the primer ( pressure side ) back to the tank, it just pushes into the top of the tank.So to recap the primer pulls fuel from the carb, and dumps it back into the tank.

What are the correct settings for the low and high speed adjustments on a Walbro WT218 carburetor on a SOLO line trimmer?
ANSWER : This will generally get you close: 1.5 turns for both the “H’ and the “L” needle screws – adjust from there.Note: Screw all the way in until they stop (do not over tighten), back off by counting the turns. Most trimmers will run at about 1.5 turns and adjusting from there. Consult your manual for more specifics.

I have just installed this engine as a replacement. it has two wires coming from what appears to be a solenoid on the bottom of the fuel bowl on the carby. can you please advise where the two wires are run to as my old engine did not have a solenoid ??? on the bottom of the carb. what i need is a wiring diagram for this new engine to see where these wires go.
thanks regards wayne
ANSWER : The wires should be black and gray. The black wire is a ground and mounts to the engine, usually on the cooling shield screw. The gray wire needs to have a 12v source when the key is in the “START” and “RUN” position. Not knowing what the mower is, it would be difficult to tell you which terminals on the key switch you need to hook it to. If you have a volt meter this should be easy to detect by checking voltage on the “backside” of the connector while you are turning the key. It’s very important to make sure that when the key is in the “OFF” position, there is no voltage going to the solenoid.
If you have a Walbro carburetor you could always remove the solenoid and replace it with a regular bowl nut. If it is a Nikki carburetor, you would have to replace the bowl with a non-solenoid type.
The purpose of the solenoid is to minimize “backfire” that can sometimes occur when turning the engine off. Hope this helps.
