[QUOTE="acwd, post: 346274, member: 7495"] I know its been awhile but things got warm and got the motor out today. I squirted some gas mix in the carb and pulled the choke. Second pull it hit then nothing. So I pulled the carb off and cleaned it. Put it all back together and adjusted the low and high speed jets per instructions. it wouldnt hit at all. Opened both of them up some and tried it again. Finally got it to hit. High speed is like 2 rounds out from seat and the low speed is way out like 5 or 6 rounds. I think the problem lies in the top of the carb where the low speed jet feeds into the throat. Theres a plug on top and I think it comes in a carb kit. Is this whats making it a PIA to start? Carb kit will be ordered and soaked with the plugs removed. Just wanting to make sure if this is all I might need when ordering parts. Steve [/QUOTE]
