I have a Craftsman 917.258543 with a Kohler engine. Cranks and turns over, but will not catch and start unless I spray carb cleaner ( small spritz) in the air intake, then she starts right up and continues to run. If she is warm, she will start w/o the carb cleaner. What do I need to adjust and how, so she will start without the cleaner...does a jet needle need adjusting?
Do be careful with too much carb cleaner or ether. Both can clean the oil off the cylinder walls and that's when a the engine has the least amount of protection.
