[QUOTE="judsondeancole, post: 62878, member: 924"] captclay....i did not replace the needle and seat, but again I have had it running since I have cleaned the carb and running very well. I think maybe it is just a cantankerous at cold cranking. I will try opening the vent on the gas tank and avoid the vapor lock and if think hard enough....i want to say that the vent was cracked on the same tank when i had the motor running smoothly. I bought the tank, filled it with mixed gas, hooked it up, and away i went. I didn't pay attention to the vent until a couple weeks ago when my troubles started.........maybe it's as simple as that.......MAYBE............ thanks again ya'll for helping to keep me sane..........i was cracking up over a little motor......
