[QUOTE="Honky Tonkin, post: 193656, member: 1872"] Took the carb off, cleaned it. Took the fuel pump apart nd cleaned it a lot! Found the float was stuck down in the bowl, so I moved it upward. It may be mis shaped, because it hits the bowl on the far side. I am not sure if that is supposed to be the case, but I put everything back together and it ran better than it has since i have owned it!!!! It starts first pull everytime , and to top it off there was a glog of hardened grease that was limiting the throttle. I removed it and the thing sounds twice as fast!!! I will find out this weekend. I am going to try and find a new float to install since it is so easy to work on these things. Thanks for the help!! [/QUOTE]
