Webb 14in AB1474 dies when opening throttle
I have an Webb AB 1474 that idles OK but as soon as I open the throttle the engine dies. Also even when warm it requires the choke to be closed to get it to start
I have cleaned the carb. (the single jet I can find is clear), replaced any gaskets, cleaned the air filter, and have new fuel,
What do I need to do next?

A carburettor rebuild kit may be helpful the diaphragm and flap valves sometimes get less flexible in these carbys, I read somewhere that B & S recommend they be replaced every 12 months or so not that I agree with that as I have some that are years old and still run quite well.

Cant be sure until we get the numbers* but I don’t think that particular carb has a diaphragm.

Have you had it off the fuel tank and checked the filter on the pickup pipe?
