Haha okay, fair enough.
Does it stay running a idle & only stop when you pull the trigger ? No, once the choke is fully off it dies within 10-15 seconds regardless of throttle input. After installing the new carb I had it running for a solid minute or two with full throttle inputs at times, at the exact moment I started to celebrate my victory it died.
Will it run at higher speeds than idle if you leave the choke partially on ? No, tried to leave it half choked and throttle it up a bit but it still seems to die within maybe 20-30 seconds, leaving the half choke on preserves the run time a bit but not much.
Does it start 1st or 2nd pull or do you have to pull it 20 times ? Always starts within 3-5 pulls.
Does the primer bulb pop up quickly when pressed ? Pops right back within a second or so of depressing it, didn't seem off at all to me.
is it full of fuel ? Filled it up to the brim with a can of Husqvarna premix. Had issues, dumped all that, filled it all the way back up with another can of premix. Still had the same issue. Don't think I've tried it with anything less than a full tank.
If not does the fuel level go up or down ?
Are you sure the carb is connected to the line with the fuel filter and not the return ? That depends on your definition of sure. I was sure until you asked this question, now I'm going to check this first thing when I get home.
dose it make any difference if the fuel tank is totally full or 1/3 full ? Haven't tried it partially full, will attempt.
Does it make any difference if the fuel cap is loose ? Haven't tried loosening it, will give it a shot.
Does it make any difference if you remove the breather ? Nope.
Does it make any difference if you remove the muffler ? Haven't torn it down that far yet but I will see what that does.
Is the air filter wet or dry and does removing it make any difference ? Dry, tried removing it completley with no effect.
Have you tried a new plug ? Yes, no change.
What does the old plug look like ? Pretty much brand new.
