Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the engine run only while primed? A: Fuel may not be reaching or metering through the carburetor, but tank pickup, gaskets, venting, and intake sealing must also be checked.
Q: Can this stop fuel from entering the oil? A: Only if the carburetor inlet system is the cause; replace contaminated oil before use.
Q: Will it fit other 5-hp engines? A: This listing is focused on compatible 135202 applications; verify any other engine by its complete identification.
