Peterson bogging down

[Tom tress]

I come to Arb talk form for help with my Peterson Honda twin engine that is bogging down under load.

I have changed fuel filters and cleaned/inspected the Carb.

I still think the problem is fuel starvation and may be some to do with that Electric thing in the float chamber which I don't know what it dose.

 

Can any one help please.

When you say you have cleaned the carb what exactly have you cleaned? And how?

Opened up the float chamber and blown the air hose around but it looked clean.

That's not cleaning and inspecting a carb!

OK what do you suggest

Pull it apart properly and clean the jets. Especially the main jet if it's bogging down under load. Also check your air filter- try running it without first. If an engine can't get enough of either fuel or air then it will bog down under load.
