Hi Guys
My 20 has a 2nd brand new carb on it but I'm having initial start issues with it. The previous carb (that gummed up while I has in hospital) worked very well
and started on the first key turn. With the new carb it will not start on the first key turn and I have to wait around 15 seconds before trying again and then it eventually starts and splutters and stalls and eventually after letting it rest for a sort while it will keep running but it sounds like the auto choke isnt doing
it's job right ..when it eventually warms up it's all OK so I'm suspecting something on the auto choke. It is getting the required 12v but doesn't respond well
at all. I still have my previous carb so would it be worthwhile to swap the autochoke units over even though it's a year older??
Thanks for any advice
Chris
