Message: <blockquote data-quote="MadPC" data-source="post: 78045">Hey Earth Mechanic, this is a great post... Thanks for being the few w/ the honda 4 stroke here. In fact I have the same engine too but I'm running into this "stalling problem" right now and i wonder if you have any advises for me.I get the engine brand new and I did not run for over 3 miles. One day I was trying to work w/ my gear box, I angled the bicycle 90 degrees up and some of the gasoline leaked out(I think it's from the carb)... then after that the stalling problem was introduced. The bike would stall while throttling... I then took out the the carb, cleaned it and rebuild it... the bike stalled even quicker then b4. I started it up, 2 sec later it died.I checked the fuel tank and filter, there is no clog..I checked the wiring, they are all good... the spark plug is good as well...So here is the question, when you get your new engine, after you connect the fuel input w/ the tank, did that take you a few days to let the fuel "soak" into the carb bowl? Or it happened instancely?This situation I have seems to related to low fuel in the carb bowl. So does it take the carb a few day make the gravity to push the gas down the bowl?I ordered and replaced the engine a new carb it's still no good. It starts for 2 sec and died. I wonder if I need to wait for the gas to soak into the carb bowl...Would the carb gasket blocked part of the pressure regularing holes? would that matter?</blockquote>
