only runs with choke on
I have a 2006 TXT. The engine got new rings and a valve job a couple of years back. Last week it was still running fine. I put some fuel in the tank to about the 3/4 mark and drove it about twenty feet to park it. The fuel was less than two weeks old and also used in a mower that is running fine.The next day when I tried to accelerate, the engine would rev up few a second then drop off to nothing. If I pulled the choke out it it would pick up revs and the power would come up. I did this a few times riding it around as I was trouble shooting. After a minute or two it would run normal, or close to it with no choke.
I was still messing with it yesterday and it never went to running without the choke. It just got to were it would not accelerate. Today I pulled the plugs and brushed them off. They were whiteish with no fuel on them. I pulled the hose off the fuel pump that goes to the carb. With the transmission in neutral I pushed the pedal to the floor to run the pump. The flow was not perfectly steady as I held it down. I am not familiar with cart pumps but expected that as long as I held the pedal the fuel would continue to exit the pump steadily. It mostly did but not consistently. Also, the flow came out about 1.5" and surged a little. I would have expected a steady solid stream that would have had more force. What should I be seeing with the fuel pump? |

Re: only runs with choke on
The pump operates off of crankcase pressure pulses, so it should pulse out of the line. With that being said, I would pull the carb an clean it. Sounds like clogged fuel filter or dirt in carb.

Re: only runs with choke on
Then the pulsing is normal, okay.
The fuel filter doesn't appear clogged but I am going to change it anyway. I planned to pull the carb's bowl and wipe it out but it seems like a bear to get to. In the minute I looked at it I haven't figured out if I can get to it and R&R it without removing the carb. Seems pretty tight in there. |

Re: only runs with choke on
Its really easy to pull the carb. remove the breather assembly and go from there. get a can of carb cleaner with the basket. follow the service guide and you'll be all set.
