I hate to admit it, but removing the carb is the extent of my carb knowledge - seems to me a rebuild is in order...Does that ring true to you? additionally, I've got some charging issues...go figure...thanks for asking - any input would be greatly appreciated - truth be told, I'm a novice...thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 |

There are a bunch of guys here that can answer that question. I'll bet you're able to tinker with that carb enough to fix it. This post has been on here a while and by now might not get any more hits. You might want to post the question on the Engine and Driveline forum.
