My SRM-230 had been running poorly the last few uses. Bogging and dying under full throttle once warm. Figured it was carb related but was due for a new plug and air and fuel filters, so figured the $18 kit with everything plus a new carb would get it all good as new.
Replaced everything tonight and now it won’t even try to fire up. Driving me nuts.
Lines are hooked up correctly…I see fuel flowing out down the overflow line when pressing the primer.
Plug is a bit wet but the piston doesn’t look soaked or anything. Plus you’d think if I flooded it, it would start while holding it full throttle with the choke setting off. It won’t even sputter on any combo of throttle or choke.
Waste of time but for giggles I tried the old plug (wasn’t in bad shape anyway) and same issue.
Fuel is brand new Trufuel
Doesn’t make sense that the high side adjustment would cause it to not even try to start but for the heck of it I tried all the way in, all the way out, and halfway and no luck no matter what.
Only thing I haven’t tried is putting the old carb back on. It’s a minor pain because the new carb came with a wrong size grommet so I have to swap the lines to the OEM correct grommet.
Curious if I’m missing anything or if it sounds like a bad new carb
