I have a Power Washer with a 6.5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. I bought it about 7 years ago from Home Depot an I don't use it all that often. About 4 years ago I forgot to add Stabil to the gas bef

The problem is not your choke. Your carb is not clean enough yet. You've got a fuel restriction somewhere that's not allowing the carb to deliver enough fuel when the power demand goes high. Check f

IMO The choke's not the problem; you've still got a plugged jet or passage somewhere that isn't passing enough fuel. It's possible there was an adjustment that didn't get restored during the cleanin

No experience with ultrasonic carb cleaners, but I have the same problem with my Morgan. The carb gums up something bad. What I do, is spray it down with spray carb cleaner, then I take a piece of st

I've had this problem with lawnmowers over the years. I removed the carb and put it in a can of Gunk over night. Always worked. The first time I left an O ring in and it swelled to a much larger size

I am not sure which jet was the main one, but one of them was plastic, which makes me uncomfortable trying anything too aggressive for cleaning. Unless that was on my lawnmower. That one was also run

mechanical cleaning of carbs with wires can ruin them. It's quite possible to enlarge them. (not very likely with a copper wire, but you can scratch them.) which will change how they behave. I don't

Assuming you cleaned out all the visible fuel passages with carb cleaner, Check the valve seat for the fuel float. The rubber swells and prevents proper fuel flow. Restricting the fuel flow causes yo
