If you were to change the whole carb it would be a 'whole can of worms' sort of thing.
I'm inclined to agree except that when it's set so it's just opened fully, it won't close enough. It is really hard to start the first time unless the choke is fully closed. It will start, but it takes a lot of pumping the accelerator and grinding the starter. A lot.......... If it's fully choked, it starts right up.
Really frustrating.
Thanks for the suggestion
Tom
