The solar panel pressure washer has an engine now.
My old gx390 engine from the stump grinder. Upon close inspection it looks like it was running pretty rich. The predator 459cc I bought to put on the stump grinder came with extra carburetor jets. A 0-3,000ft jet installed a 3,000-6000 and a 6,000-9,000ft jet as spares. I installed the one labeled as 3,000-6,000ft in the 459cc.
I tore apart the gx390 carb and pulled the jet, noticed the gx390 was running the largest jet out of all 3 jets in my possession.
So I stuck the next smaller size jet I had back in the gx390.
I put a 1mm in there, it was running like a 1.1mm.
