Hi, new to forum.
I have a honda push with assisted. HRR2168VKA
4 years old. Started this Spring in NC, then choked out with puffs of smoke (looking too rich)
I changed the gas. Nothing. Changed the spark plug, oil, air filter and string pull. Nothing.
I took out the air filter, shot some WD40 in there, started, ran no problem.
Put air filter back in, choked off. Put old filter back in, choked off. Took out, ran fine.
So I took the muffler off. Ran fine, put filter back in, choked off.
Put muffler back on, cut house air filter and put it in, ran fine.
I took the carburetor off, checked out the insides, looks clean. I typically use E10 87.
Thats what I got now, a house air filter (fiber with metal mesh) cut to size.
I have a new Honda mower, so getting this fixed doesn't need to be fast.
All i've seen so far online is some people think air may be getting into a gap, but I don't see that. Is there something that can cause gas to go in too fast?
I haven't replaced the gas filter.
Suggestions appreciated, TIA.
