I would check the float. Does it smoke real bad before it shuts off?
no it does not smoke very much
I am with Chad check the float take it out and shake it if you here liquid inside the float that could be your problem. Have seen a few 2 cyl.JDs like this. Jason
hello Jeff ,another thing to check is ,make sure the choke is not slipping on when you push the choke arm back causing it to flood ,bruce oz
While you have the carb apart to check the float make sure that the bowl gasket is not interfering with the swing of the float. I have seen bent floats or gaskets that are too wide and the interfere with each other and does not allow the float to drop. If all of these check out then I would check to make sure you have good fuel flow to the carb.
if you need a float, i have one .. let me know. 20.00 mike.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
