Looking for a bit of help on this one as I am stumped. My father gave me his LT 150 last fall. It ran like a top. Throughout the winder I would start it every month to get the belt moving etc... Always ran perfectly. went to start it for the spring cleanup a few weeks ago and it wouldn't start at all. Backfiring occasionally, so I changed the plug. spark looks solid, and still wouldnt start. Figured it was a fuel issue, so I changed the filter and put in new fuel. Still nothing. Cleaned the carb and bowl. And got it running for about 2 minutes with starting fluid. Sounded really rough. It stalled out and now I can't get it to go at all. Im baffled on this one as its getting plenty of fuel, and has spark.
1) but an in line fuel tap & fit it between the fuel tank & fuel filter or pump wher you can get at it from the carby side.
2) turn off the fuel tap, remove the float bowl and solenoid turn the ignition on & off it should go all the way in every time you turn the ignition on
3) remove the main jet & emulsion tube make sure both are clean.
