Do you have a question about the 53135 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Engine starts after spraying starter fluid in carburetor then shut off in a few seconds
The Powerhorse engine with part number 53135 starting only after spraying starter fluid in the carburetor and then shutting off after a few seconds could be caused by a fuel supply issue. Possible causes include:
1. No gas or old gas – Ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank.
2. Clogged fuel line or carburetor – Clean the fuel line and carburetor to ensure proper fuel flow.
3. Fuel shut-off valve closed – Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is open.
4. Choke or throttle not in the correct position – Adjust the choke and throttle to the proper starting position.
If the engine runs briefly on starter fluid but then shuts off, it indicates that fuel is not reaching the engine properly. Cleaning or repairing the fuel system should resolve the issue.
