howdy!!
as the title says, looking for a carb. but!! try finding one is the prob.
months ago, i cleaned the carb up after having some running issues; cutting out at idle and major trouble getting it restarted. i got it starting up better, but still cutting out. ran out of time to complete the job and shelved it until today. heck...now i can't keep it running long enough to tune.
there is a minor leak where the fuel line runs through the tank to the carb, but that part's new. so, not sure why it still leaks. happens when i refill, but not while actually running it. i'll fix it.
furthermore...and more to the point, my friend/neighbor suggested perhaps a new carb. says it's the original 25yr old carb, afterall. can't see why it really needs to be replaced..has a new kit in it and the seats don't appear to be damaged. i've never tweaked it hard enough to damage. ???
anyway, not opposed to a new carb...anything/everything to get it running as it should. i just can't seem to find one. friend believes there should atleast be something aftermarket, but i ain't seein' it. so, any help from you gentlemen would be lovely
-new ethanol free 89 octane
-proper 40:1 mix...synthetic
-new air filter
-new fuel line/filter
-great compression
thank you, kindly
