I agree- rebuilding a modern carb is nothing. A kit is $8 at Mfgsupply.com and it takes all of 20 minutes. Get a can of non-chlorinated aerosol brake cleaner at O'Reilly's or Walmart and rebuild your carb. I think a member here actually posted a .PDF on carb rebuilding somewhere and Gary has his fabulous Tillotson HL rebuild thread which applies to the majority of modern carbs.

IMO, taking apart a typical modern Walbro or Zama carb is quite a bit simpler than the HL in that thread. I guess someone (?) should make a walbro rebuild thread...

That was my point- just about anyone can follow that thread and end up rebuilding an HL easily. Smaller, more modern carbs are even easier. It isn't rocket science.

Even a cave man could do it:hmm3grin2orange: Seriously, it's a piece of cake.

Not much to installing a kit in the carburetor. Basically replacing any paper/rubber parts with new ones, new needle valve, and putting everything back where it came from. Keeping everything clean is a MUST with carb work.

I would recomend cleaning out the fuel tank, vacuum testing the fuel line (or replacing it), and cleaning or replacing the filter in the bottom of the tank at the same time........Cliff

This is not my video but is what I found on youtube to help you out. Take a look. It's long but gives you the idea of what the process is.
