Working on a 6hp 128h02 0515 E1. mounted to a DR style trimmer. came in not running and had a trashed carburetor. I replaced the carb, and did a filter oil and plug and new primer bulb at the same time. It fired on the first pull but ran just rich enough to bog but not blow black smoke, and is spitting fuel out of the carb throat.
The following is everything I've checked and thrown at it so far with zero improvement (in no particular order):
-installed 2 other new carburetors
-checked for vacuum leaks (even though it's not a lean condition)
-pulled the plug to read it and it was black, but not terrible.
-checked compression
-over gapped the plug hoping for some more heat
-changed plug again
-adjusted the coil gap
-pulled the muffler to verify not clogged also ran it with no muffler
-checked flywheel key
-verified proper oil level
-checked for spark strength visually
What did I miss? I can't think of anything....
