Flooded Carb Box

[Tony Hart]

Had what I thought was a soft seize on my wife’s autolube PX125. Got it going again by taking plug out and letting it cool before limping it home. Plug was very dark! Just had a look today and the carb box was full of 2stroke. Stripped the carb and box off engine and there was 2 stroke sat on top of reeds as well. Obviously a problem with autolube system but would appreciate any advice where I should be looking for cause and cure!

(Will also check piston & barrel! )

Sounds like carb gasket has failed, the two stroke is just getting pumped into the box. Also check the pump gasket, they're usually less problematic but same result

Cheers. I’m hoping it is just the gaskets. Will swap them and see how I get on.
