I have just bought a used Craftsman 4 cycle trimmer which has a Briggs & Stratton engine (model 21032).
It seems to work very well but, if I stop it after it is well warmed up, it refuses to start again. Gas oozes out of the carb., as if it is flooded but the plug is dry. After completly cooling down, it will crank up and run normally again.
Could that be a stuck, or dirty, needle valve causing this?
I have tried putting the gas cap to my mouth and blowing through it and it doesn't seem to be blocked.
Your help will be appreciated.
Lewis.
