Hyundai / Running Rich
September 27, 2024, 08:25:58 PM
Hi All,
Just picked up a used HYM430SP, the seller said "it only runs without the air filter"...but it runs, so will do for the garden  :tup:
I had a proper look at it today,and dismantled the carb (nothing obvious there) it is definately running rich as there is fuel spitting out of the air filter housing...

I also discovered the rear of air filter was warped and a so a second gasket was added. (ordered a replacement, and flattened the one i have)
I'm was thinking of putting in an inline fuel filter (as i couldn't spot one anywhere) and also a smaller diameter fuel line, or shut off valve - to limit the fuel to the carb. However i'd really like to solve the issue the "proper" way so looking for any advice on how to fix the issue.
tia.

Introductions / Hello

Hi All,
Just a quick intro, and firstly i'm not that green fingered..however i do love tinkering with things, and mowers are a great way to spend a day in the garage! I've always bought second-hand since and my old Husqvarna R147SE has finally gotten to old to be worth repairing, so i've just bought a used Hyundai HYM430SP, which for the money was a steal, it came with a known issue, but liking the price of spares for this over the Husqvarna...So looking forward to learning a bit more about the best way to keep the mower going.
