What have ya got to lose? Try a rebuild kit on your own. I did....It seems to work. My float sticks once in a while. On another post, someone suggested I add an in-line fuel filter to make sure the crud in the tank and lines does not make it to the float causing it to stick open....

Kinda cool to hear the engine run for the first time huh? I drove mine around the block for the first time yesterday. Now I wish I had a shop with a huge compressor and an unlimited supply of cash....
