I have got myself an old Briggs & Stratton 3.5hp vertical shaft engine.
It's just a project to see how the thing works really and to get it running would be nice.
It is the same engine as in thie post:
http://www.abbysguide.com/ope/discussions/10863-0-1.htmlIt has a plastic carburettor on top of the fuel tank, with a rubber diaphragm between. The carb has a fuel pipe on it that dangles into the tank and a spring / rod that connects up to the butterfly valve in the top of the air intake.
When spinning it by hand and covering the air intake on the carb, i feel the engine "suck" and fuel is drawn from the tank, but it leaks out of the seal between the carb and tank.
The diaphragm looks ok & doesn't have any holes in it. Is it possible the fuel passage is blocked?
Thanks in advance for any help.
