[QUOTE="mattf92, post: 304149, member: 10682"] Ok that sounds about right as far as too much fuel. All the carb parts are original so hopefully the new carb kit and a bitof playing with the float will solve the problem. Ok... As far as the single fuel line conversion goes.... It was very simple but nerve racking as I was drilling and tapping one ot the cast aluminum side plates. I tried uploading a pic but it won't let me so... You can email me @ mattf92@yahoo.com and I can get you pix that way. But from tapping one of the holes out on the side plate I ran fuel line to a vacuume/pressure style fuel that they used in the 1960s when single fuel lines were starting to come around. From what I hear you can find these even on lawn tractors made by john deer and Briggs and Stratton. From the pump I have the fuel in and fuel out lines with an inline fuel filter. I read many articals and forum posts about it and watched many YouTube videos on it as well. I found this way to be the most simple and least likely to f up the motor if something went wrong.
