    H25 will not run off idle.

    I'm trying to get the H25 on my Rupp Chopper running before I proceed with my build and not matter what I try it will not run off idle.

    Honda gx 340 fast idle

    I've got one of these on a pressure washer that has lots of hours on it. I replaced the carb and the gaskets between the air filter housing and the carb and it didn't change the fast idle. I cut the throttle down and it still runs pretty fast. Wide open under a load it seems OK but take the...

    212cc won't idle

    I bought the stage 1 kit for it, so air filter and jet were replaced. The little butterfly mechanism on the carb doesn't snap shut when I let off the throttle. I disconnected the throttle line to make sure it wasn't causing it to hold the throttle open, so that's not the issue. Any ideas?

    Hello, I am pretty new to small engines and carburetors in general, so I need a little bit of help. I have a 212cc engine I got used. It was fully stock when I got it, and it's still stock with the exception of a free flowing exhaust. The problem with it is, it keeps fouling plugs. I...

    I have this taper bore vm22 and I'm making an intake for it. My question is, should my intake flange cover this hole or leave it open to atmosphere, or does it matter? It's hard to see in the hole but it looks like it's plugged right before it gets to the idle mixture screw which is right...
