Gleaner E have to choke when hot

60 n B · Oct 17, 2013

I have a Gleaner E I bought a few years ago (with the stock g226 engine). Everything has worked well on it until this year. While cutting beans, after the engine warms up it would start sputtering like it was starving for gas and I would have to run it ~1/2 choked at full throttle to give it enough (it ran that way but obviously had some power loss). It would run fine at low rpm - idle. Any thoughts what it might be? Should I look at replacing the fuel pump? I do not believe it is the carb since it runs perfect at full throttle when I start it cold...

Any input it greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Pull that carb and clean it. It isn't getting enough fuel when it needs it. If you had recently worked on it I would say that it needs adjustments for more fuel. If it hasn't been fiddled with then something has gotten partially plugged. Make sure you have gaskets on hand - the old dry ones are likely to fall apart.

Should be a load screw for fuel adjustment on the bottom of the carb. After it's warm turn it out in 1/4 turn increments until you can run w/o the choke.

If you have a mechanical fuel pump, if the diaphragm fails it will leak - fuel runs out a weep hole and will be obvious. Mike

could be fuel starved ... chek fuel delivery ,, you may have to blow out lines

If This combine has a electric lift pump on it somtimes they will pump enough to run at low rpm but under a load they will starve engine for fuel
