Have you priced a new carburator lately? Do it and you'll answer your
own question.


I've said before that they were too cheap to spend any time/money
futzing with an old one--- but I've met resistance every time so I
quit posting it. I guess it is a matter of choice & what else one
might do with that time to frustrate themselves.

They get $5 or more for the little rubber primer bulb on a Briggs. Can't
imagine what they would want for the whole carb.
