Puzzled on this 1 so thought I would post to see of some opinions. 51has been working great all summer untill yesterday. I was bucking up some ash and had about a half a tank of fuel through and saw just puttered out. Humm.. ok, so with the bar still in the cut 1 gentle half pull on the rope it started right back up and 4 cuts later it did the same thing. It was a stop like a kiill switch were it just stops, it was a lose of power and 2-3 seconds it died. Not like starving for fuel. But to rule the fuel out I topped the tank back off and it wont even pop over. On the bench heres ths following I did
old plug has darn good spark. It will ignite fuel out of the jug with plug sitting on top.
it will ignite fuel when dumped into the cylinder
It ignites fuel normaly with plug resting ontop of the jug.
it will not pop over with plug in the jug or with a trickle through the carb or a trickle dumped into the jug with plug put back in.
Ive tried new plug, new fuel filture.
With a dry plug in the jug I can pull on the rope 2-3 times and it will not start and after pulling the plug it will be wet
Compression around 100
I have yet to tear the carb off. I have also dumped the fuel out of the tank and refilled. Fuel is fresh mix and no issues with the 371xp and 137
