Hey guys, I have a 175cc 7.5hp b&s engine that will not start unless I use carb and choke cleaner ,, after it starts the thing runs pretty good,,
I have checked the auto choke to make sure it is working proper and it seems to be working right ,, I pulled the carburetor off took it apart and soaked it in cleaner and sprayed thru all the passages ,everything seems good , the carb looks almost new as it is ,, I made sure the float is working and letting gas thru ,, I even checked the valves to make sure they were set properly ,,
I'm at a loss , is this something so simple I'm over looking it? any help would be awesome , thanks!! Dustin

Because we do not know what engine you have because you have not provided the model number. We can not offer help.

Sounds like the main jet is clogged. The main jet it the bolt you remove to take off the bowl.
