I replaced the carburetor on a Honda GSV 190 that powers a Billy Goat yard vac. I replaced the carb with an original part for that engine. (The old one had clogged jets, as best I could tell.)
I hooked the new carb up to the machine and installed the two push rods and spring, and vacuum line, as it was all hooked up originally. Now the carburetor appears to be dumping fuel into the motor, to the point where it dumps out the side where the air filter would be (removed for troubleshooting).
Did I do something wrong in installing the carb? Or did I get a bad one? I am very perplexed as the connections were all straightforward and this is an original part. Any help appreciated. I am at my wit’s end with this machine, as I have had too many problems, with the self propelled, to it originally not running properly (adjusted under warranty) and now acting up again with a new carb.
Thank you.
