Well, Stopped by the shop. Talked with the mech's....
They think it's fuel contamination... seems that it's a recent common issue here as of late....GRRRRR
So I'll be disassembling the carb again, removing all the items, fuel and cleaning all the orifices....
Seems that there is some sort of solinoid (Sp?) valve, I'll have to take that off and see if I can clean that too.
Well at least, I'll have a project to attend to this coming rainy w/e...
The key for the mechanic, was that I had taken fuel from the tractor and used it in my Honda mower where after 3.5 hrs of running had indications of what they called "Detonation" from the "Bad fuel".
So now I need to figure out what to do with 4 gal of bad fuel.... any ideas?
One guy said dump it in the oil recycle... YEIKERS!!!! flame hazard!!!
