Hello all. I have a Honda GX240 engine i cannot get to run.
If was stored for a long time with gas in it.
I cleaned out the gas tank and got it all nice and clean.
I took the carb off and using some twist ties and wire i poked through every orifice on the carb. Took the 2 jets from the middle of it out and they were clogged cleaned them all out with wires and every single hole is perfectly open.
I than soaked the carb and jets in seafoam for 72 hours and constantly shook the container with the solution. After 3 days i took every part out of it and ran wires through every orifice on it and the jets once again. I thank took compressed air and blew out every orifice once again. Everything looks very clean and wires could go through and see them come out the other end of every.
I put the carb back together and adjusted the butterfly to close in the middle of the first tiny little hole inside the carb that i read to do.
But i still cannot get this engine to run. I can get it to run and stumble on for maybe 2, 2 and half seconds and that's it, but it stumbles and not a run for those 2 seconds. It has fresh oil, good spark plug , good spark and clean new gas.
When i had the carb off i sprayed starter fluid and the engine started right up first pull.
What else could i try or adjust , am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated , thank you.
