Hey, I hate to admit it but I was bedeviled by good old code 14 for almost 2 seasons. Diligently tried all of the above fixes to no avail. The carb cleaner by- pass and hand choking did seem to make it run better on the few occasions that it did run!! So, I just gave up Then, one day I just decided to try it again but it wouldn't prime, not a peep out of the fuel pump, checked the electrics and beat the snot out of the fuel pump; no joy. Then the light came on, I ordered the cheapest suitable fuel pump on Amazon.ca, installed it and lo and behold no more code 14's. For a while it did quit after the coffee pot or other load dropped off, but it would restart and run OK. The following day using a Y fitting and a hose pincher I fed it a mix of gas and throttle body cleaner into the float bowl intermittently for an hour or so; problem completely resolved! Simply cleaning the float bowl will not remove gum and varnish from the labyrinth of passages inside the carb body, neither will spraying stuff through the venturi! Hope This helps. W.
