One easy way to tell that. Snag a can of ether and blow a little around the cyl. head. See if it speeds up. try not to spray the muffler or the plug.

Number 2 the resutl ain't gonna be too pleasant....radio shack's momentary push button switches work awfully well for that and they're cheap. If it still has a carb problem, let me know, I'm the master....

pull the mixture screw out of the carb, check the little rubber gasket.


If you ask me briggs' Vacu-jet and pulsa-jet and pulsa-prime carbs are the worst designed pieces of plastic junk that I have ever seen. Did I mention I hate them? The day that briggs starts using Mikuni Roundslide carbs is the day when all is right with the world.

And should you need parts let me know my shed looks like sanford and son organized and on steroids.
