  • What you describe is exactly what happens when a 2 stroke engine carburetor is clogged / float stuck. For that type of engine you simply use use a carb rebuilt kit, a simple repair, and all is well. I do not now if your 4 stroke is fuel injected or uses a carb, but if it has a carb and is a 4 stroke, I understand 4 stroke carbs are much more complicated to rebuild. I know this does not directly answer your question, but maybe it will get you thinking in the right direction.

I would check all of your fuel delivery system first. Make sure your gas line at the motor end has pressure and that you haven't hooked up the hose in reverse ( it happens). If fuel squirts out when you push in the little ball with a pointy object, you're good. Next, I would check the screen /filter on the fuel pump and maybe clean up the screen with a little carb cleaner. If it was running good last time you used it, the last thing I would mess with is the carb.

SOURCE: My mercury 35 hp outboard motor idle's fine but won't run

While at the river try to adjust the fuel air mixture. When you are on the water it puts the engine under a load and if that dont work then dont be afraid to bump up the idle stop screw slightly.

4stroke 9.9 Suzuki starts hard and only runs with choke out ,only idles,sputters when I give it more gas

Have you checked air filter? If Ok it will be a blockage in the carburetor try the main jet first.

Poulan chainsaw, I rebuilt the carb with all new everything. Now it will start with choke all the way out. Idles really high. If I push choke in, it dies instantly. The hi-lo and Idle is off I know for...

get it running on idle,adjust the idle down till it runs hairy,then adjust low speed mixture screw till you get it highest revs,then keep repeating that till you get it idling normal.rev saw up max revs,adjust high speed jet, in or out till you get max revs,then screw out one quater of a turn.That lets enough fuel thru to cool the sparkplug tip..If thats no good,redo the carbi.Check the tiny filter under the needlevalve hole.Check the needlevalve diaphragm height.recheck gaskets are right way round

I have a kawasaki250gpxr.when i put choke on it starts up but when its warm and i take choke of it will high rev tjhen die on tick over ,but the bike rides fine

Sounds like running lean fuel condition running with choke on high rev when choke off and cutting out all points to lean condition
Get it serviced and tuned if you not confident to adjust fuel mix your self also you could try some fuel cleaner additive to your fuel tank that may clear it if is just dirty pilot circuit you might get lucky
But I would suggest get it serviced and tuned some where you trust ASAP you wont hurt anything it will just let you down when you need it AS THEY DO!!
