Questions and answers
why does my sp170 only runs at full throttle new carb, all springs are in the proper location
If the Subaru SP170 only runs at full throttle even with a new carburetor and all springs correctly installed, the issue may be due to one or more of the following:
1. Improper fuel-air mixture: The engine needs a proper fuel-air mixture to run correctly. If the mixture is too lean or rich due to carburetor settings or blockages, it may only run well at full throttle.
2. Governor linkage or setting issue: Even with correct spring placement, the governor may not be functioning properly, causing the engine to stay at high speed.
3. Air leak: A vacuum leak in the intake system can cause high idle or full throttle operation.
4. Throttle stuck open: The throttle plate inside the carburetor may be stuck or misaligned, keeping it open.
5. Misadjusted carburetor: Idle or main jet settings may be incorrect, leading the engine to operate only at high throttle.
These issues should be checked and adjusted to allow proper engine operation at all throttle levels.
