My 2003 Ozark stalls and backfires at top speed. When I’m running it at wide-open throttle for more than 30 seconds it will start backfiring and stall. It takes me about 1 minute to get it started again.
– The spark plug was black so I replaced it but it didn’t remedy the problem.
– I turned the pilot screw about 1/2 clockwise to lean mixture. Again, it didn’t help solve the problem.
– Should I make it richer instead?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Have you check he gasoline? Sounds like there could be some contaminated fuel issue. If gas is contaminated it might require you to clean the carb after you clean the tank and the lines. Also clean the fuel vent. Sounds like you played with the carb settings. After you resolve all the issues you might need to tune the carb again. I’d recommend downloading the factory service manual and refer to the carburetor tuning guide.
