 Topic: 5hp scamp engine problems
Posted: 29 Oct 2017 at 11:45am |

Our B&S 5 hp engine on our Scamp is smoking and running rough. We've change the diapham seal, cleaned the carb, to no avail. When we take a air gun to the carb when running and lightly blow air into it, it clears up and runs right. What are we missing here? Thanks, Tom.

If you want a man to be a successful farmer, give him a Allis Chalmers tractor. If you want him to be a successful mechanic, give him a John Deere

toooo rich ?
adding air would lean the carb out a bit
I'd turn the mixture screw in 1/2 turn see what happens...
