What should I do if my carb shuts off?
if your carb has a fuel shut off solenoid on the bottom of it, make sure its getting good power and staying open when acting up. Have seen quite a few issues on wrights with the fuses, ign switch and wiring/connections that controls the power to the fuel solenoid.
What to do when your carburetor is idle?
Start by screwing in the mixture screw and count the number of turns it takes to bottom out and note if the engine dies. If Idle Mixture screws are with in ½ turn of base line setting then all is well and have fun. Also check the speed screw and note how many total turns from initial contact.
Why does my carburetor not work when I start the engine?
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE NEXT INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE, DEVIATION WILL CAUSE THE CARBURETOR TO NOT FUNCTION TO ITS IDEAL SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY NOT PROVIDE THE PERFORMANCE AND FUEL ECONOMY AS DESIGNED. Start the engine, the engine will run very slowly more like a tractor.
What’s the best way to set up a carburetor?
(Checking for linkage bind) Now bring screw back into contact with the lever and continue to open or screwing in 1 turn no more than 11/2 turns. Set the mixture screw (see Fig 1) by first screwing in until the screw stops, bottoms out.

What should fuel pressure be with no fuel going to carburetor?
If equipped with a mechanical fuel pump, remove the fuel line to the carburetor and connect a fuel gauge to the fuel pump. This should yield a low pressure, under 20-psi when the engine is cranked over.
Why is there no fuel going to the fuel tank?
Another logical cause could be the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is electric, the 12-volt power may be shorted. A hole in the fuel line on the tank side could also cause the fuel pump to suck air instead of fuel from the fuel tank.
