Engine service light ON after using 3M Fuel system tune-up kit: Does anyone know how to take care of this engine service light?

It's why I'm suspect of these kits and products. Yes you may be cleaning out the gunk but that gunk has to go somewhere. So, out your exhaust manifold moving downstream to coat $100 oxygen sensors and clog $1000 catalytic convertors.

I will have to send you pictures of my set-up later on this week. Briefly I have three Weber carbs and a fuel distributional block from Mr. Gasket and I placed it upstream of this, but if you have fuel injection the pressure is about two or three times what the gauge will register

Did you add kerosene? Sounds like contaminated fuel (water). You need Mr Funnel. See www.milesstair.com. He has free excellent advice on care and maintenance.

Dear customer, Thanks for your email. Well, this item will turn off check engine warning lamp, clear codes and reset monitor status, and there will be a manual in it, if you got it, you could follow the manual, hope can help you. Best regards!

If the fuel has gone bad then you need to drain and replace with fresh fuel. That point on I would recommend using Lucas to keep the rest of the fuel system clean.

I removed the lower intake and did the lower intake gasket at the same time, I bought a Felpro lower intake kit. The kit contained all the seals and o rings for the fuel injector assembly and a new metal retaining clip for the main block of the fuel injector. The two parts of the manifold I cleaned with throttle body cleaner. The deposits under the throttle blade I carefully scraped off with a knife and used throttle body cleaner. Any o rings that had to slide into position I lubricated with a pure silicone, but you could use liquid soap, it's just to make it slippery. I also recommend changing the heater hose connector on the lower intake gasket while it's apart. Also this is the exact kit I ordered.

check a couple things. spark plug wire is connected, fuel dial turned on, power switch on, oil level is good, and proper gas in engine. this should work.

First, check the fuel filter- that it's attached to the end of its plastic tube.Second, chuck the iffy "Torch" spark plug, and replace it with NGK BM7A (slightly colder also). They should handle it.Third, get a Poulan splined carb tool & adjust carb. Or, find a dealer who can do that (lotsa luck there.) Better, a friend.Once it's right, get a quality chain 62DL .050" ga. 3/8"LP. Oem chains are SOFT.

nah u might get an check engine light but i dont think it will be a problem, its advise to get a access port or a hypertech will do aswell, what i have

I have not had any problems that require repairs. I did, since I only have 2 hands, figure out how to depress the fuel lever and pull the starter cord. I use a heavy duty rubber band to hold it down while I pull the starter cord.

That is what I have. It seems to be working. For the first few days, I was still getting an engine service code, which would disappear fairly quickly. But I have not gotten any codes for a while. Just make sure to tighten the cap well. This model year is particularly sensitive about the vapor thing.

add the product to the gas tank when it close to empty - for me that was about 2-3 gallons remaining - then really ran the car hard (like I stole it) - - filled the tank with high test and some injector cleaner- and again ran the car hard - check engine light stayed off for a good 6-8 hundred miles - more than long enough to pass NC emissions test - the light did eventually come back on - but then realized it was the fuel my wife purchased - - as I had her fill up with a different brand and light turned off

It fixed it for me, but the repair people diagnosed that it was bad - they wanted to replace the entire canister assembly - $300 for the part alone and only available from Toyota. I told them no, I'd live with the light. Checked the web, found this part and it matched. Replaced it and light is gone. I have a 2000 Camry LE. The light could be from other things, too, like the gas cap seal. Good luck!

(2) 1 on left side and 1 on right but make sure when applying the red oil filler coating do not overcoat to drip or your MAF sensor will get wet and your service light will turn on.

Look up a local small engine repair shop. All power equipment needs to be maintained on on a regular basis to be reliable when you need it. Stale gas is the problem, run it once a month. Use fresh fuel and use stabilizer in the gas. Try this, tilt the unit forward, backward and left and right. Sometimes the fuel system could be semi- clogged and this will get enough past the clog to start. If it does put some fuel system cleaner in the tank with fresh gas. Lowes or Home Depot have one that is an enzyme that will eat the gum that formed.

our engine is a Kohler 15.5 HP - might be a different carb, but I would bet the fuel shut-off is the same. I replaced ours because the engine would die after 10 minutes or so. 10-15 minutes later it would start and run for another 10 minutes and die. Turns out this was not the problem - it was the ignition module (provides spark to spark plug) Replaced that and it now runs fine. If you really think its a carb problem - just order a new carb and don't do a rebuild kit. Been there done that. Installed new carb and it now runs better than it ever has. 10 minute change out. With a new carb it comes complete with the fuel shut-off. Gas with ethanol seems to eat the diaphragm's up. our engine is a Kohler 15.5 HP - might be a different carb, but I would bet the fuel shut-off is the same.

I bought one of these carbs, bolted it on and it has worked great. Didn't make one adjustment. Sounds to me like you have a issue with fuel maybe getting to the carb. Normally what was thought to be too much fuel ends up being the exact opposite. Try taking the gas cap off and starting the machine. Maybe vapor lock? Check fuel filter if there is one, that it is not clogged. Collapsed fuel line? Is the bowl on the carb full of gas when the machine shuts off? Oh and to answer your question, the screw is most likely a idle air screw that can be adjusted to set idle speeds on the carb.
