6.0 hp approxomitly 15 years old. was not used for 3-4 years. I can get it started but will only run when holding in the prime button. To get it started i have to prime it many times. I have sprayed with carbo??rater cleaner and put gas cleaner in the gas tank. I put in a new spark plug and air filter. Any suggestions

I would say it is in need of a power supply repair.

I have the same model pump. When I had it put in, the installer said that the auto prime function had some bugs in the software. He suggested changing the setting to 3 minute prime. You can change it in the configuration menu. I assume that your pump is actually priming and not running dry. Hope that helps. Please reply if you need more help. Good luck!

check spark make sure its bright blue but sounds like a dirty carb needle valve isnt opening enough not letting enough fuel in

>Check ISS pumping, >Check ISS tubes is there air gap?>Check cartridge bag broken in side?>Check for leakage at cartridge bank & carriage assm.>Do the following force priming to fil ink in tubes as well as in print heads:****Hold the power button down and press the cancel button three times and the resume button three times.****Switch Off the printer and then On again in order to start the priming of the ink supply tubes.

Remove and clean the brass bolt that holds the float bowl on the carburetor. Clean out the bowl too. Use no metal objects to clean this bolt. It has 3 small holes...bottom...and on the sides near the top. Use carb/choke aerosol spray cleaner on it. IT can clog (esp. without an inline fuel filter on mower). Clean the bolt good, reinstall (not forgettting felt gasket between IT and the bowl) and your runnability problem and fuel flow problem should be solved as the bolt is also the main jet of the carburetor.

I would only be guessing ,but I would say 15 years

cd tray button dead? means power failure. step one is remove that old bad shorted huge battery first. and run on AC pack only(even forever) bad power pack (or wrong kind) bad power jack on PC side it for sure needs service, guessing is not possible (or very expensive) if the P15-s420 (the dash matters ok./) Satellite P15-S420 (is the full name ok?) a true relic with only XP OS loaded. XP is trash, a pure virus magnet. 15 years old today. all batteries inside and outside are bad 15 years old not one will be good, and that is bad. the HDD will be bad too as will the CCFL LCD back lamps bad.(black screens forever) 2004 made, a pure relic with zero value.


worse yet is the DC jack is soldered down and all are cracked now. all are, if not parked on shelf for 15 years.
a better PC has pig tail jack that lasts 10x longer.
like HP 8540 has. and all top grade HP and Dell have.
not this toy grade old laptop

Be sure to run the recommended fuel mix. most modern 2 stroke outboard engines run on 100 to 1, some times the mix is on a decal inside the cowl.

The problem is that the gas that sat in the carb all winter glazed it over and gummed it up. Begin by going to any auto parts store, like an aiutozone, and getting a bottle of carb. cleaner. Seafoam is one I use. Add it to your gas, one ounce per gallon of gas. Also, pick up a can of engine starting spray.

Remove the air filter and spray the engine starting spray into the air intake. Pull start the engine and give it additional squirts of engine starting spray until it runs smoothly.

I had similar problem and cleaned the spark plug and that seemed to have worked, but I think that may be a temporary fix because the engine still seems to be running unevenly. I feel that it must be a larger problem with the carb. If anyone can help this novice to adjust the carb or clean both carb and filter, or offer other solutions I would appreciate your assistance.
