New Problem HELP! Possibly big onan troubles?

[ARKANSAWYER]

   Sorry Coon that only happens way up North where it gets so DanG cold a body can not breath.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)      Jeff just got a sticky seat or a leaky float.

[Jeff]

I'll probably crack her open tomorrow. I aint got no logs and Tammy has the last of her boards we cut pounded up on the latest project so I might as well git er done before we get some more logs.

[beenthere]

There's been a couple hints given out on this 'latest project' .............. one of these days we may find out what it is, other than something to keep Tammy busy............ ;D

[Jeff]

Notice the list...

[chet]

I wonder if Jeff is building a wood stove? :P

If he is, I hope he's buildin' it out of noncombustible wood.  :D

[Jeff]

sounds like the makins of annuder chet joke.

[Tom]

It's got nuthin' to do with nuthin'.  Just an incident that happened years ago up in Folkston.

A barn was being built and one of the friends had volunteered to help.  There is a lot of volunteering up in Folkston.   This fellow was johnny on the spot, but, you had to work around his mental slowness sometime's.

"Possom!", came the call from the roof.  "Bring me another board".

"What kind of board?", came the reply from the other side of the building.

"A 1x6, we're sheeting".

"Do you want a wooden one?"  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

[Jeff]

Got the carb off and this fell out of one of the ports. I dont know which!  can someone help or does someone have a manual?

[DonE911]

Jeff thats just an extra part.... you don't really need it  ;D ;D

Kinda like those extra things you ended up with when you take something apart and put it back together....  I was always in trouble when I asked my grandfather where this extra part to HIS lawnmower was supposed to go :D :D

[Jeff]

I'd kinda like to put this one back in as my extra parts can is way to full...

[DonE911]

Yeah I understand....  thats why we buy our coffee in a can instead of them vacume packed bags ;D

[Bro. Noble]

Oh Jeff, 

You're just blogging us,  aren't you ??? ;D

[Timburr]

Good choice of a new- found word....blogging :D

[D._Frederick]

Jeff,

Look for an openning that has a seat for the round end to seal against.

[pigman]

In my opinion it goes in hole  G  in your picture. Ok, I don't know.   The reason I bought WM  with a diesel was to keep from having carb problems. ;)

[Furby]

Just guessing from looking at the pic, but "B" looks like it might be it.

Look at the other half and see if there is something to indicate where it goes.



Just take the other carb apart and this time take note of where it falls out from. ;D ;D

[Jeff]

with a little help from wood-mizer and with the post from  D._Frederick  I narrowed it down to a pretty good guess.   None of Wood-mizer's books show the part that fell out. :-\

Furby, you dont want to know what I did before I made this post. :-[

I dont think the carb was the problem. When I had both of them off, I could turn them updide down, and try to blow into the fuel lines and the needles were doing thier job, No leak through that way, regardless, I cleaned both carbs again but put the old one back on. I then pulled the ful pump.  The hose going to the back was wet inside, althoug I could not get it to leak gas while blowing on it, I think this may have been the problem. I hope. I put the one on off of kevins engine, pumped up the bulb, and after changing the oil AGAIN, firesd it up. Started right up. Shut it down for a few minutes and it fired off quickly again, this was have way through the thunderstorm so I figured I would come in and get dry clothes on.   I did power it up a couple times and it seemed to be running smoother. I hope this is not just wishful thinking.  When it quits raining I'll go try to start it again. If it fires right off I think we have something, as anytime it has set in the past, it starts real hard.

[Furby]

 :D :D :D :D :D
Sorry for laughing, but I can make a pretty good guess what ya did!  ;) ;D

Can't say I haven't done something like that myself................... :

[woodbeard]

I actually just had mine apart today beacause my engine seems to be running rich, too, so I was checking the needle valve in it.
I'm just going on recall, but I seem to remember the spring being in hole E.

[Jeff]

Yep, E is where I ended up putting it, there is a small brass bin on the top of the carb that fits into the top of the spring.  THe thing started so, so far, so good.

[Rockn H]

Jeff, you weren't trying to mess us up with F were you?  Looks like I see threads in that there hole. ;D

Glad it sounds like you got it figured out.  I'll have to remember that one since I'm running an onan also.  I would have never thought about the vacum operated fuel pump sucking gas back through the intake. ;)

[hawby]

Jeff,

Did you say, "Rain?" What is that????? We are so dry down here. The weatherman keeps promising it, but the ground is cracking.....

[Furby]

I hear ya Hawby!
Was wondering what that was Jeff was talking about.
