Yeah, that'd be my advice too. Stick a bit of card in there with a label
saying what it is, too, because if you're anything like me you'll end up
with shelves full of stuff like that and it's not always possible to
remember where it came from when you "find" it again in ten years'
time :-)

Thanks...the new carb (and air cleaner, plug, blade and assorted
gaskets) arrived last night, so after one more mow this weekend, I'll
be swapping parts.

For what it's worth I've never replaced one of those carbs on any of
my gas powered equipment. Simply cleaning it and replacing the
gaskets has always been enough. That yours improved with gas additive
suggests the same.
