[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 37834, member: 432"] I see in the pictures, you have no connection to the carb from the dial on the front of the motor. If you follow the shaft from the dial straight back, it should take you to where the needle enters the carb. If you can, remove the remains from the carb and replace the needle valve with a new one. They cost about $90.00. They are designed to with a weaker middle section to prevent them from being cranked into the carb with too much force. (You would be suprised to see how many people would take a pair of vise grips and try to turn it like they were tightening lug nuts on a car.) If you can not get the old one out easily it may have damaged the seat in the carb. If it is screwed in all the way the motor would not want run smoothly at low idle especially when cold. [/QUOTE]
