Default Re: 99 ds. Fe290 no start

Remove the cover to the black electrical box next to the motor. Turn the key OFF. Then slowly press on the gas pedal. Watch the carb and listen for the microswitches in the black box to click. I’ll bet the carb starts to open before or at the same time the microswitches click.

You can use the cable going into the black box and loosen it some, so the microswitches click, then the carb should NOT move until you press the gas pedal another inch down or so before it starts to open.

Also make sure the carb closes all the way when you release the gas. If the cable running from the governor to the carb gets sticky, it can hold it open and make it hard to start.
