Well, I cleaned out the carb, and put it back together. Hooked everything back up and went to start it. It wouldn't start. Doh! I still had the idle adjustment screws turned all the way in. So I opened them 1.5 turns each, and she fired right up. I then started screwing them back in to find the sweet spot but it kept running even with them all the way in. That is bad. Right?

The rebuild kit I bought for the carb had a bunch more gaskets and some other little parts in it. I'm wondering should I go to the trouble of figuring out how to take the whole bloody thing apart and replace with the parts from the kit.

The oil had a lot of gas in it. I let it all drain out, then poured a quart of oil in with the plug still out to flush out any gas still in there. By the end of that quart it was running straight oil as far as I could tell.

Thanks,
Jason
