GeneralDisorder Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 10 minutes is about how long it takes for the choke to pull off completely. Sounds like you have a severe vacuum leak or a badly adjusted idle speed/mixture. A clogged idle circuit in the carb would do it as well. Hitachi's are a pain in the rump roast. Even for us that know them well. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob2soob Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 hey i think i fixed it, turns out there was this tube that wasn't connected to my carb and my idle speed was a bit low I'm still gonna get the carb cleaner to see if there is anything else wrong but i figured i should update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
