ok, you got me. Welcome to KF and let us know how you may think that the carbs are causing you an issue.

I would suggest cleaning those pilot jets again. (I take everything apart and soak the unit.) Either they were not soaked and blew out good enough or generally most people tend to forget that they are even there. So they do not take them out for cleaning.

(....and don't try to shortcut the process by pouring a bottle of some caustic "drain cleaner" in your gas. Bad, bad, bad. Agree with Drag^--do it right.)

How did water get into your bowls when you just cleaned them a week ago?

i am looking at a brute force 750 a guy has for sale and every once and awhile the starter locks up and he has to push it and throw it in gear to get it unlocked. Just curious of what it could be before i purchase it
