Problem: gas coming out of air filter. Thinking needle stuck.
Removed air filter, removed nuts carburator. How to remove extended spring throttle wire attached to carb without bending it. Was able to remove bowl and sprayed with cleaner and air, but little 3 mm rubber( I think to close something off came out. Where is this coming from?

Thank you Stratmando, but I have watched this utube, but this is a different model. On carb site bended end of spring is thicker and will not go through this size of hole. Spring will go through engine cover. Other end spring bending sideways. Since screws carb are extended and this need to be pulled out straight, even taking cover half off can't get angle without bending spring.

There are several other videos.
Is the cable too tight?
Carb may need to be removed.
Can you separate or unhook the cable?
These are generic answers, many are similar? Good Luck

Hi,
Did not find an engine breakdown, but found the parts breakdown. It is at:

Perhaps if you can get the numbers off the engine, I could help with that. Usually you take the air filter cover, air filter and the back of the air box off to access the carb and the fasteners that secure it.
Peace,
Clarke
