Re: Zenith Carb leak
One or two seconds MAX on each choke
Note choke only works when engine is turning.
Do not mean to be insulting but there are many Utubes where they choke when engine is not turning.
return choke to open ... it should start AFTER you release choke and while still cranking.
then retry with another 1 or 2 ... if no start.
If choke more than 1 or 2 seconds at a time it will leak out throat.
Note some carbs start better if throttle is open slightly. One notch or so from when throttle plate first moves.
Note keep this for cold weather:
If engine starts using procedure above and dies after 2 seconds or so:
Open GAV one turn and retry ... if still dies try another 1/2 turn or so.
If 20 or 30 below it might take two turns total on GAV (gas adjustment valve.)
Normal GAV position is 1/4 turn from closed after warm up ... do not force it.
