Hello,
I owned a Honda HS520 single stage snowblower and looks like I'm having a fuel supply issue with the engine. Here are the symptoms:
1. Whe cold, enging starts fine with choke rod pulled out all the way (Expected behavior)
2. As the engine warms up, I need to adjust the choke rod so engine runs smooth. I believe this is expected behavior also.
3. With the engine fully warmed up, I can start the engine with the choke rod pushed in all the way but the engine starts to cycle rpms up and down and sometimes it stalls under load. To smooth the engine out, I need to pull the choke rod out some.
Does this means the engine is running lean when the choke is pushed in all the way? Is it time for a carb cleaning or new carb?
Thanks!
