My WD starts fine but lately it will stop running for no reason. sometimes it will die by just turning down or up the throttle. last time I pulled the gas line off to make sure I was getting gas to the carb which I was. It seems like it will do it more when its cold. Should I look at rebuilding the carb? or what else can I look at.

If you have gas going to the carb but not entering the float chamber the cause is usually the needle valve sticking in the up (closed position) when the float drops down. It's supposed to come down to let more fuel in. It is a pesky problem with Zenith carbs. I can usually temp fix it by tapping on side of carb but the only fix is to clean up the seat and valve. Using Stabil in the gas might help if it's a gumming problem.

There are only 3 things to deal with. Air. fire, and fuel. I've always figured it was awaste of time to start messing with carbs and such untill you know the fire is OK. Point gap too close or just weak points. Coils can screw up hot or cold, and randomly. I would give it a good tune up first. That means plug and coil wires as well as plugs and points. A new coil never hurt. Does the system use a resistor? Replace it as well. Don't overlook the possibilty that you have a problem in the line wiring, as in to and from the switch, the feed wire to the coil, etc. Don't forget the condensor.

Need more info to help much but heres a couple things to try. Pull the drain plug from the bottom of the carb. Do you get a god flow of gas for say 5 minutes. If no you have filter/line problem. If yes you may need to rebuild the carb. Also check the spark when it does that. Is it a nice blue spark or it it sort of yellow. If its a yellow spark you might have a problem with the coil. Also does chokeing it help?? If yes its back to a carb problem
