These motors are not bad at all. The biggest problem I have found with them is both factory and replacment carbs gaskets and seals are the most prone to ethanol destruction of any carb on the market. The gaskets stretch and get mushy when exposed to ethanol.
Hey man, great video and good explanation. I have the same motor and carb you have but I’m having a stalling issue. Mine will idle for about 10 seconds (with choke on) then die. It sounds like it isn’t getting enough fuel. The carb is brand new so I don’t believe that it’s due to a dirty carb. I also checked for vacuum leaks around the carb but couldn’t find any. The gas has also been drained and replaced with new regular gasoline. That being said, is there a way to adjust this carb without jetting? Did you adjust the two brass screws on top of the carb to get it idling better? I have tried to adjust the fuel screw and the air inlet but doesn’t seem to be working. Any help would be appreciated!
Did you check for any kinks or clogs in the fuel line coming from the gas tank? When I installed the carb it was plug and play, only adjusted for idle.
