1020 gas can't keep it running

It's off to the professionals. 2 days. $110 later. We'll see, but that should eliminate any carb issues. If it doesn't run after that. Big hammer.:shocked:

Yes, it had 2 clogged passageways. I didn't have a carb kit, so I wasn't going to take it that far apart. Haven't tried it under load yet, but will do that this week hopefully.
Thanks everyone for your inputs :drink:

Great to hear it! It always feels good when you get an engine running well again. Good job.

I was guessing clogged passages. Glad you got it fixed. I suspect the carb pro ran something like fine wire through all passages.

Yup, doing that currently.
Either can be bad, I've used it extensively over the years, but yes it can be hard on it if you're not careful. What i like about either is the metal can.

No better after the soak and blow. Will have carb professionally rebuilt I'm thinking. Least wise will know that part is not the issue if it doesn't fix it.

Since you say you did not have a carb kit, and said you were not going to take it apart further, did you NOT take it all the way apart to soak it?
