Can someone verify that a 2003 GoDevil VanGuard Longtail has a solenoid on the carb? I think this is why it wasn't starting for me the other day... It's at the shop getting a leak down test but I'd like to have a game plan for getting it running again when I get it back. |

Yeah I know that will be the give away but it's at the shop. Just anxiously brainstorming and hoping that it does. |

I don't believe they have one on your motor, but I could be wrong. I searched google a bit |

Not thinking it does either... Back to the drawing board. Has spark and the pump appears to be pumping fuel. Valves adjusted as well |

Clogged jets In the carb? It normally doesn't take much for these motors to run. Air, Spark, and fuel. Has the motor been sitting up a while? Bad fuel? |

Sat for maybe 2-3 weeks fuel isn't too old and has had sea foam in it. Cap was tight so shouldn't have water in it. |

Just doing a leak down. It has fresh plugs, oil, and filters. Cleaned the carb a month or two ago but maybe need to do it again. |

Can a throttle cable adjustment or governor adjustment cause this? |

I wouldn't think so, As long as you put it together the same way you took it apart! |

This week i had one that wouldnt start. I held pressure on the bulb and bounced motor up and down. I felt the bulb squeeze when the float fell down from its stuck position, fired right up |

Hope your leakdown is good. For clay, i just weld up the low spots then true them back up with a 36 grit.

No worries, they don't need to be true. Briggs sure don't think so, anyway.
