Thread: Motor issues

Had the tank drained and the motor had been running fine off of the 6gallon aux. tank. I dumped about 4 gallons out of the aux tank into the main tank after spending $200 getting all the gas and water out of the main tank. It took forever last weekend to get it running in the yard but I did get it running for 8-10 minutes before I shut it down. Filled it up this morning and was testing it before I took the grand kids out for a ride. Glad I did. It turned over fine but would never run. I ever tried to power crank it. Mashing the button and give it throttle out of gear. Could never get it going. No ideas. Plugs looked like the had oil on them but not gunked up. I took the plugs out to let it sit. Thinking maybe when I hooked up the mIn fuel line, there was water in the line. I have the cover to my carbs off. Can't tell much. Any ideas? Think it may be water and I can get carb cleaner and spray into the intakes.

Water in the carbs. After getting my tank drained last week, I guess there was water in the line from the tank to the bulb. Took everything apart, even the carbs out. Took the drain screw out of each carb, drained them good, Sprayed them with carb cleaner heavy and got it all out back together without any left over screws. Lol The gas in the carbs was white, full of water. Letting it air out abit before I try and crank it.
