Hi guys, I'm working on a 1964 Tote Goat for a friend. It has a 4hp Briggs. Went through it all and rebuilt the carb.
Cold starts fine, restarts easily immediately after you shut it down, but if it sits for 5 minutes or more it is a bear to get going again. I've found a very very slim sweet spot on the mixture screw where it will run smooth at WOT and still idle well. Move that mixture 1/8 of a turn either way and you lose either the idle or the WOT rpm.
What can I try to correct this hot restart issue after it sits for a few minutes? Right now, I have to choke it for one pull, then on the next 1 or 2 pulls it might start...... then it needs to be left to idle for a bit otherwise cracking the throttle kills it.
Thanks
