Dangdest, thing.
I tried starting the Midget a few more times and -- nothing. Back to square
one, I thought.
But this morning I tried and it started up and ran as long as I kept the
RPMs up. After about a minute, it ran on its own, but fast (the tach isn't
working -- that's another problem).
After a few minutes, I killed it. Then tried to start it and -- nothing.
So, we know it works. The question is why does it do this. I'm going to
dismantle the cannisters and empty/clean/refurbish them (I don't know about
that 'hit the charcoal with a propane torch' trick). Then I'll see if I
want to mess with the water choke (I hate tiny parts that I always tend to
lose). Finally, I may mess with the carb itself and see if there are any
major glitches in it. I'm pretty sure the problem is flooding somewhere
because I DO smell the fuel. The question is, where?
I sure appreciate all the tips I've been getting here and via personal
email. Thanks guys!!
Bill
