GX390 13hp, coughing sputtering, stalling

[jeffzee]

Got a problem, my 3 month old Honda 13hp is having issues. Just curious if you have any ideas as to what it might be. It will run fine while the trigger is released, once i pull the trigger to start spraying it will cough and sputter, then sometimes it will be fine for a min and the just die! Any ideas? Good thing its still under warranty.

If it is also belching black smoke try changeing the air filter, otherwise try the fuel filter. If not these items take it to a shop and have them check the governer.

water in fuel fix

I keep some gas line antifreeze in all our trucks. Sometime water can get into the fuel system. A cheep fix. Normally for a honda not to run, the air filer is cloged, water in fuel or check for low oil.

GOOD LUCK,
DAFF

Nothing worse than not able of finishing a job because of a no start.

Check your choke.
