How can I get a guarantee that the carb kit will be in good shape I do not want to waste my time on carbs that fill with fuel after the engine is off

Installed mine on a 72 ghia vert. Have driven her about 1500 miles since. Adjusted on installation and checked after about 600 miles. All is good. Big difference in low end power.

The kit I received was in very good condition and I ran those carbs for quite a while after rejecting them. I only got rid of them because I went to fuel injection and a turbocharger. Overall I like these carbs but (like every carburetor) they need tuned from time to time.

Spend twice or three times the money and get Webers if you wan't to be sure . Worked good for me just got to know your way around carbs

My experience with the carb kit was less than satisfactory. Installed them on a 74 1600 VW engine and ended up re-installing the original carburetor. We couldn't get them to adjust properly.

When I purchased mine, that offer was valid. Not sure if it still exists but you might check their web site. It's a good idea no matter. The ethanol in today's gasoline wrecks havoc on these small engines particularly because they aren't used everyday. Using a fuel that is devoid of ethanol means I don't need any additives and it's a high quality fuel to start with. I will be using their fuel (or equivalent) in my machine.

the carburetor should be fine is it comes from the factory it may be the governor which is something someone might have adjust at the snow blower shop

The carb needs cleaned with carb cleaner spray or if that does not work you will need to take it off the saw, take it apart and clean it and re-install. Fuel that sits for a while causes this to fact. Empty the fuel tank between usage.

Modern gasoline will form a varnish sludge in the carb if you don't drain it in some way and let it sit a long time.Applies to any gasoline engine.If you use it weekly it will be fine. if you let it sit 6 months you'll probably have problems with the carb. Its hard to predict where in between there is the maximum you can let it sit with gas in the carb.Just like the common lawn mower engines.

The CARB (California Air Resources Board) has not certified these kits for California usage. Most of these kits come from China and the manufacturers are not interested in going through the certification process.

it will let you adjust the air fuel mixture .most carbs come sealed.also you can change the jets.

If you are not getting fuel in most cases the issue is either the carberator had old fuel in it with the alcohol in it it will draw moisture and clog up the ports inside , if you have tryed another carb and it stiil wont pump fuel the issue is probably internal the crank case will need to send a pulse through the pulse line hose going to the carb to activate the diaphram inside the carb. if there is a leak on either crank seal or cly. gasket it will not create the pulse it needs to operate . pull pulse line off and crank over to see if there is any activityon pulse line of pressure test bottom end . crank seals are known to go bad on these small engines ..... Good Luck Mike

You can use Heat gas treament or air break anti- freeze, these are two items I use in mind now. There are other fuel sources out there go on Utube and look.

You can use it multiple times and more then one carb no problem !! No need to buy an additional can

Carb did not have a gasket but you can get one at most air cooled engine supply shops.I would bet that was not your problem, those carbs historically go out about every 3 or 4 years.I put mine on and without any adjustments, it ran like a new one ! And it is the best price out there !Keep on 'Tillin !!

Quite possibly none. After carefully reading and following the instructions, mine quite after several ten minute usages. Cost of carb replacement about $300.00 with labor. Buy reliability, not technical, troublesome sophistication. Bad product.

dont know, mine needs to have carb adjusted to stay running and it requires a special tool

Yes. This would work. If you're finding it unsuccessful, carb cleaner would do it also

I used it and have had no problems. I empty my tank and run what's in carburetor out.

Not sure what kit will be available but for the cost of the carburetor i think its cheaper to just replace good luck
