Does anybody have any advice? Like I said, the mower ran great (albeit quite leaky) before the float/needle kit swap. Could I have messed something up? It all fit together quite simply and cannot think of where things went wrong.
Update! - I solved the problem. I know nobody has replied yet, but I'm posting this in case someone else has a similar problem, and they can see what was causing my issue. I had a clogged jet. Somehow, the jet managed to get clogged before/while/after I replaced the float parts. It ran fine before (with the leak), which really puzzled me. I guess I assumed the jet was ok because it started and ran before, but low an behold, it was clogged up when I finally decided to look at it. starting great now after clearing it. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
