Yes, I got the HS40 backwards. Thanks for pointing that out.

He stated he does have spark. Was your spark at the plug gap, or in a spark tester?

At full throttle with no chain on it, the governor will pull the throttle back, causing a sound that sounds like it is surging. Put it on the ground, hook it up and let us know if it still surges.

If outer tube is 1 in. OD, and inner tube is 7/8 OD, there does not seem to be enough room for a bronze bushing. Cut a Clorox bottle or a milk jug is what yours truly would do.

Maybe another thread to share opinions on additives? My opinion is used OEM carbs are better than Chinese copies.

Just an observation...and maybe you already thought about it, but that small pipe near the studs is probably a vent to atmosphere. It would be on the TOP of the case, not the bottom where the oil is.

How long do they need to be? My brain is seeing 35mm film canisters, but they are only about 1 1/4 inch tall.

Does fuel run out of the end of the fuel line when you pull it off the carb? Is there a fuel filter on it? Is it stopped up?

I know it's not for sale, but I gotta ask anyway. Is it for sale? I have something roughly similar to that on an old Yazoo riding mower.

I have not tried this with a fork, but with old boat motors, there is a driveshaft that goes from the lower unit up into the bottom of the vertical crankshaft. They pump salt water up to cool the engine, and that driveshaft stays wet whenever it is running. If we couldn't get it apart after we...
