I have a photo of the plug after running for a few mins but it's too large to attach it says. Do you have what's app at all? Anyway it's black around the outside and darkish brown around the insulator and very slightly lighter in the centre.

Hi Well now, I followed your advice to the letter and hey after 1st flooding the plug it then started and ran on and on BUT there just had to be a but, it sounds like every 3rd beat it misses and then acasionaly blows back but carries on running and starting straight away. I do have a vid of...

Will do. I'll report back tomorrow. Fingers crossed

Hi Rivets, The new carb turned out to be the wrong one. You are right that 640262A is the correct one, and that is the one that equates to carb number 505 as stamped on my original carb. I used an Intagarden kit which was the only one I could find that was in the UK and not the USA. Which came...

Update: Well re-built carb with new seat and needle, new O rings etc. Engine now will only run with easy start sprayed into air intake, same as with the New carb I bought! Basically it only runs with the worn out punctured float and old needle and seat. Now completely at a loss.

Well I think you may well be correct as I just removed the flywheel just to be sure and the key is in two bits! So the carb probably was the original problem. I take what you say about the weak shark detection so basically if there is a spark that is good enough then. I did see amongst the specs...

Just a thought but didn't you say that the only time it ran was when the silencer had been removed?

Thanks for the detailed carb rebuild info. However I did fit a new replacement carb after attempting to rebuild mine and this made no difference! Is it not the fact that the spark is so weak that's the problem?

I didn't replace the needle and seat just the float and bowl rubber sealing ring and rings on tube but top part of tube where the ring fits on was separate from the rest, just sits in the top.

Hi Thanks for the reply. The engine number is lev115 350120D Under that it says WTPXS 185 1BA

Hi all, I'm new around here. I purchased a used Hayter power trim which has a Tecumseh lev115 engine fitted. It started but ran terribly. Missing back firing etc. I removed carb and found float was full of fuel. cleaned carb. Still no good now wouldn't start at all. Removed flywheel and coil...
