There could be crud on the air vane or thereabouts causing a bind. Also, the primer line if it isn't in its retainer at the carb and main fuel line, can have a tendency to interfere with the air vane. Spring could be weak, I've heard people talking of that but I haven't experienced it first hand on any of my duraforces.
LB Sticky Air Vane Questions
I ran a tank of gas through my fine 10550 LB this weekend and after a break and a re-fill, I cranked the 'boy and it ran at about 1/3rd throttle and a bit rough! Being careful, I reached in with my finger and touched the governer air vane and the Duraforce came to life - yippie!
My question is - what causes this? Do I have a weak spring or can this be caused from dirt/grime over time? I hate to put a drop of oil in such a dusty place.
Looking for tips/suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
