Why does 302 2 barrel engine diesel?

I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high. I would replace the needle valve and seat and check float level.I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high.

How do you adjust carburetor on leaf blower?

Basic adjustment for small engines carburetors: Close (rotate clockwise) needle valve but do not overtighten since the coated tip may get damaged. Open (rotate counter clockwise) needle valve 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. This should be ok to start the engine. Start the engine and allow to warm up for 5 minutes. Then fine tune the carburetor by SLOWLY closing the needle valve until the egine starts to stall for lack of fuel (mixture too lean). Then SLOWLY open the needle valve until engine starts to stall due to excess fuel (mixture too rich). Set the needle valve midways between the two extremes. If the carburetor has two needle valves, one is adjucted at idle and the other at half throttle.

My 11HP BriggsStratten lawnmower wont start Its getting spark and gas When turned over there is a fairly rapid backfiring ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Check the speed control and ensure throttle closes fully and adjust as necessary; also check for leaking carburetor mounting gaskets or loose bolts. Turn needle valve clockwise until it just contacts the seat and then turn counterclockwise 1-1/2 turns and start engine. Let it warm up and turn needle valve clockwise until engine slows (lean mixture), then turn counterclockwise past smooth operating level (rich mixture) then set needle valve at midpoint. If problem persists, remove carburetor and disassemble and clean with carburetor cleaner. Then re-do the adjustments described. Good luck.


What would cause a throttle body to flood?

The carburetor may flood if dirt enters the needle valve and prevents it from closing. A carburetor can also flood if the float inside the fuel bowl is set too high or develops a leak and sinks (this applies to hollow brass or plastic floats primarily).
