if you have to keep the enricher unpluged and its bone stock you have a pluged jet or an air leak
start with cleaning the carb air filter and putting in a new plug

when unpluged an enricher is always on
so it means you are lean if you keep it on and it runs better then when it turn off

The enricher slides up and down, it could be sticking or even malfunctioning. Technically if you unplug it and something changes, it's working.... but since it moves it has room to not be working CORRECTLY.

sure as the wax heats up and melts the plunger will close off the flow of exrta fuel
so if its working when its not pluged in its always allowing extra fuel in
thus meaning you have a lean condtion that the enricher is fixing when its left on
if it was stuck in the off then it would run the same pluged in or unpluged
the same would be true if it was stuck some where inbetween

It's proper logic, but to rule it out completely is setting yourself up for failure.

I was under the impression that it has a coil spring inside that expands when it heats up like a thermostat on a car. bigbrad1966: I'm betting that you have a dirty carb. Possibly a clogged idle jet. Take the carb apart and spray the crap out of every hole in the carb. Take out the mixture screw and spray that hole liberally and make sure you can spray carb cleaner through the smaller of the two jets. |
