engine wont sustain running!!
so got my car running today but i had to put fuel directly into the air filter hole into the carb. priming wouldn't work. and then i would have to keep throttling it to keep it running. what is wrong with this!

If it starts if he pours fuel into the carb, then it sounds like it is not getting any fuel on the bottom.
Check your Idle gap, Pull full line from carb and make sure fuel is getting to the carb while turning over the motor. This will also check backflow pressure from the line on the pipe.
If you think it is too rich, prime it good then remove the fuel line to carb and try to turn it over. If it does start like this and then dies then it is getting to much fuel.
You could always reset all needles to factory and start there.
Hope this helps!

Tech Adept
No expert but it almost sounded like he was getting air into the intake at some point - wouldn't a stripped idle screw do just that? No prime in any system usually means just such a thing - you sucking air somewhere...

WHAT? ? ? I would take it to my LHS for a opnion - that part dont easliy strip.
I just think as you were turning to get the needle out the whole thing come lose. Tighten it back up.
Something dont sound right
When I get a engine - I crank the part that hold the nipple down and never heard of one stripping
hum
A blockage from what clumpy fuel ? ? ?
Over the phone huh?

Sorry if sound irrelevant, but is it a trx 2.5R engine?
