Engine model is hssk50 pull start no electric. Anyone have any ideas before i call it trash? I would probably buy a $50 carb for it before I trashed it. But then I'd have done that before I rebuilt a carb. I did my last one last Dec. Isn't worth the aggravation. Now I just go to http://www.psep2.biz/pages/parts/vie...d/default.aspx, order a $50 carb and relax. [their prices and service are great. Their website sucks- I can't remember how I found the page of carbs, but they are there. They also have telephone service which is good] Jim |

But the *un*fun is spending $15-20 and a few hours and still not having it run. There are seals and seats and narrow passages buried under welch plugs that can be-devil you. New carb- 2 bolts & a clamp- and a new gasket- and better than you can rebuild old parts. Jim |
