penno350 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 My 159 will kick up ok on choke and run fine although it needs the odd blip to keep it going when the choke is off. However, after about a minute from starting it just dies as if there is no fuel getting through. It's fitted with a Bing Carb. Any suggestions or tips gratefully received.
