Hey all,
I purchased a new GXV390 engine for my HRC7013 about a year ago. It was running fine until about 2 - 3 weeks ago I noticed the exhaust was running rich. I put it away after mowing and the next time I went out it would not start and it was leaking gas out of the muffler when I cranked it.
I have taken the carb apart, cleaned it, ensured the float and needle were working by testing it with the old carb from my engine, changed the oil, and messed with the throttle and choke arms, but so far it still leaks oil. I always turn the gas valve off when I'm finished mowing as well. After changing the oil today I noticed that when I turned on the gas valve to test it I hear gas running into the carb, stopping, "burping", and then filling again.
There are very few write-ups on these engines so I'm hoping someone out there can help me out. Any ideas?
