G14 is smoking at the bottom of the hill
Hello all,
I just wanted to pick your collective brains on this one. I recently removed the carb and cleaned it, re-installed it and now when I get to the bottom of a hill and hit the gas I get a nice poof of smoke. There was gas in the oil so I changed it and that helped some. I have checked the following; End stop adjustment of the throttle. I backed the screw out far enough that when I place pressure on the throttle arm there is a gap. Checked low speed idle adjustment, 1 1/2 turns is where it is at. I am thinking I have a sticky float in the carb? Any other observations are most welcome before I start ripping into things! Thanks in advance! |

If it runs fine otherwise I would suspect the float either sticking or set to high

Re: G14 is smoking at the bottom of the hill
How much gas was in the oil? It may take a couple oil changes before you get it cleaned out good and that may be your problem. Or it could be overfueling because of a stuck float or needle. This is most likely what lead to the gas in the oil in the first place.
You'll need to find that problem first as it can continue to let fuel leak into the crankcase which leads to a flooding situation all the time. I had this problem with my riding mower when I took it out of the shed this spring. All the fuel had drained into the crankcase and it would hardly run and smoked terribly. So I changed it all and cleaned the carb checking the float and needle. I filled the tank and mowed the yard. The next time I took the mower out it had done the same thing. Other than that, it ran fine so I just put a fuel shut off on it. It still puffed a bit of smoke until I changed the oil a second time. |
