Need help/suggestions please!!!
I just replaced the carburetor and had trouble getting it to start. Replaced the spark plug and still would not crank.
Grounded the plug against the engine fins and no spark!
Checked the fuse box and found a blown 10 amp ignition fuse so I replaced it and it started up instantly.
Problem solved or so I thought.
I took a short ride on it yesterday and it died within sight of my house. I checked the 10 amp ignition fuse and it was blow again. Replaced it again and it fired up immediately.
Barely made it back to the house and the fuse blew again!
It seems that the 10 amp ignition fuse blows when you rev up the engine so I'm at a loss as to what's causing the problem? Can I disconnect the carburetor heater wire? Will it operate normally without the carburetor heater wire connected?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions or advise!
