Re: 250 help
Sounds like you need to re-build the carb. I'd check the timing too.

Re: 250 help
Same thing happened to me a while back but on a newer foreign engine. Spit and sputtered at low RPM, ran fine higher RPM. Turned out to be a vacuum leak.

Re: 250 help
Check for vacuum leak as stated.Check to see if your accelerator pump is squirting fuel.Also check plugs.The carb may be at fault but I rebuilt mine and it was not much better.I put in an HEI.Mine is about20-30 HP better with it.I paid $25 at the JY for it.There is a great write up in the FAQ's by member 'shifty" on install,including part#'s for the wiring connector.

If it ran good before and now it doesn't, and you check the areas that have been mentioned, it could be bad gas in your tank. I ran a small 1 gallon tank with a hose to the intake side of the fuel pump when mine was doing the same thing. It turned out to be bad gas. Of course, lots of things can cause this problem... If you didn't check it out before hand it could be bad valves, bad cam, spark plugs, wires, distributor, etc... Lot of things to check, but I'd start with the simplest things first. |
