i think I’m having a fuel issue with my hitachi zx120.
When I first bought it a year ago I had to pull the tank and pressure wash it out. It’s been good for a year now but I don’t run much.
Now it’s started skipping and all but shutting down. I changed the fuel filter and it was nasty.
It ran good for 15 mins then back to skipping/sputtering. I changed filer again and drained tank low as I could. Bottom of tank looked fairly clean. It ran good for 15 mins or so then stared acting up again.
Does any one have experience with the ZX fuel system. I’ve read the EX machines had screens in banjo fittings but I haven’t checked that yet.
I was planning to pull the line from tank and bow it out. It’s therw a certain way to bleed the air from the line or will the system bleed it’s self.
Sorry for long post, I’m frustrated. Any help would be a appreciated!
