I can confidently say that it was not the original carb. I did get a new carb along with a complete gasket kit. The issue was because of an air leak caused by my incompetence. I had the carb insulator flipped so there was an air leak which caused a lean condition. I also suspect a couple of my...

I used my finger to open the throttle and it sounded great. I basically added a light resistance to the governor arm and it wasn’t backfiring at all. I tried adjusting the pilot screw and it didn’t seem to do much. It did backfire more when it was leaner but it didn’t get fixed by simply...

So is there anyway to make the engine run off the main jet too without putting the pump on? Would a governor adjustment work? Also, is it fine to dry run the pump just for testing? I don’t want to damage the seals but I really have no way to test it

GCAHA-5606565 QHA* is my model. It’s part of the BE brand WP-2050HL. Thanks for all of the help guys! I hope we can get to the bottom of this.

That’s why I suspect that the pump had something to do with it. I cleaned the pilot jet two times and it was spotless and clear before I even cleaned it the first time. That’s why I suspected the no load was causing this issue. Where could the air leak be coming from? I replaced most of the...

I did replace the fuel strainer that goes from the tank to the fuel pump. That’s good to know about it only using the pilot circuit. So since it’s not using the main jet it’s running lean and causing the surging? And the only way to fix this is to put the water pump on? I’m not sure exactly what...

I replaced all of the gaskets since there was only the bowl gasket and the gasket for the bolt on the bottom of the bowl. I sprayed out all of the jets with carb cleaner and took out the main jet and main nozzle and they were spotless. I suspected I missed something the first time so I even...

First post! I have a GC160 water pump that I got for cheap since the previous owner left water in it and the pump housing cracked due to the water freezing. I’ve cleaned up the engine and it is in great condition. The carb was spotless but I still decided to clean out all of the jets and replace...
