Hi Guys
18hp Vanguard, as most of you all know I moved to va last fall, my Max was running perfect, started great, idled great, response was great, no issues at all. and it was always garage kept and only used non ethanol gas, It was parked at my brothers house for 2 months outside, than I brought it to my new house in Jan (ran like crap getting on trailer) and it has been in my garage ever since.
Today I had some time and it started right up but it will only run when 3/4 choked and a 1/3 and above throttle, I figured I would remove the carb and give it a good cleaning, I have 2 fuel filters on it and neither one of them have fuel in it. I figured maybe a fuel issue and not a jet issue. I disconnected the fuel line from the vacum pump and put the end in a can and fuel flowed freely out ( plenty of gas in the tank). installed the fuel line and it started right up but will only run with 3/4 choke and RPM at or above 2k...
I am second guessing myself and torn between a jet issue or a supply issue, Any suggestions would be great.
