After reading all the other post on this site it seems like this is just inherent in the design. I want to replace it with any other carb. I would like the cheapest and easiest to install, with no modifications if possible. What should I buy? Are any other decent carbs available that just bolt right on?
Thank-you for your help. | | |

Tom Langdon sells them for $65, 10 bucks for an adapter and another $15 for a good looking air cleaner with element. Lots of guys do the 2x2, looks good, performs well.

Easy as pie ... and I'm getting 16 mpg, too!

The motor usually starts on 1st try. Maybe 2nd in winter with choke pulled. you can get electric, water, or manual choke. I asked for manual but got water. It came broke but since I wanted manual I just took it off and twiddled bits until I got it hooked up. I don't really like the looks of it but it does work well.
