I could not get mine to work either. I tried to send it back and they would not refund my money

The screw on the left of the carb is the idle mixture screw. The screw at the bottom of the bowl is your main jet, adjust this one first for elevation then adjust the idle.

Still can't get the carb to idle well. I moved the needles in as stated. Just runs for about a minute then quits. Must need MORE adjustments to make it work.No luck so far!! Will keep trying but can't adjust an engine that won't run long enough to do so!

I used it and have had no problems. I empty my tank and run what's in carburetor out.

What engine are you putting it on. Mine went on 1600 dualport. With a 34 pict 3 carb

I ordered this for my brother-in-law and he is 400 miles away, but I would think it depends on the carb.

I would tend to agree. I have to use starter fluid and carb cleaner each time I use the generator to get it running. It's almost brand new.

Jesse, dont know what actual speed it may achieve, with no modifications, appears you must drill main jet carb out to somewhere around .039 to. 043 to eliminate hesitation , if you attempt to race it. Then u must remove governor.! This is stuff that i have heard and read on social networks. No experience myself

Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty. Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running.

Might need a new manifold. If your carb just slips on then you need a manifold. If it bolts on you might be able to just install.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

I bought a BP5500 in 2011, Ran it a few times. It has 3 hours of total run time. Started it up today to test it out and the carburetor is leaking gas big time. They need a recall on this.

It may need warranty work . I would call husquarvana. When I spoke with customer service they told me they are having problems with the carburetor on this model .they will give you a list of people in the area that are authorized to do the work .

My Bike has an ironhead motor, I had to get the proper intake manifold because the ID of the carb was lager than the stock manifold Causing fuel to pool and back fire out the carb.

Hi sir, the best thing is to pull the carb and get the # off of it and make sure. So many different carbs for them, some have as many as 6 different ones. Not all the same either.

If you didn't run it out of fuel before storing it the fuel could have gummed up in the carborator. Best to find a Briggs and Stratton service center near you

should not be the one I have will start on 2nd pull with the choke check spark plug and the fire. did have to change the coil on the one I have and check the bowl on the the carb make shore its not gummed up . turn the fuel off and let it run out of gas .now if you are where its cold it will be hard to start you my have to pull on it 7 or 8 times my one will do it at about 50 f or below
