Default RE: Sachs 4.2 Carb Issue


ORIGINAL: overkill

Sorry, forgot to mention that I did rebuild the carb with a K10-WJ kit for local shop. Got rid of leaking problem but wont run. Put old stuff back in the carb and it leaks again and will crank in run. Now have new stuff back in the carb and it wont run. Really looking for the Low and High needle settings running this motor on Glow fuel with single glow plug. I figure that will be a good starting point.

If your engine was running with a leaking metering needle, your HS and possibly your LS needles will be set way lean for normal operation. Open the needles to at least 2 turns for glo operation (maybe 3 turns the HS) and try again.
