first off, the guy darkhorse on ebay was very cool, very prompt and answered all of my questions, i would def buy from him again!
now the verdict, it took me a little while but i put all the new stuff in the petcock, that inside stuff is so flimsy lol
it was easy as it was just switch to new stuff, but she still sputtered down a couple times in "on" not as bad as before, but went back to normal in prime.....SO if that wasn't it what is it?
also, while i was in there i saw where the fuel goes in, there was this black gook....i think i tried to clean it out but it just smeared, would this cause an effect? how would it still work in prime though? i mean inside the petcock...
also, i had a little leak, then fixed it, then she wouldn't run @ all....decided after cursing for several minutes that the tank had to come off again...went to take off the vacuum line(smaller one right?) and it wasn't connected......lol tell me i'm not the only one!
