    Carburetor on Craftsman / Tec 2.5 hp H30

    The dripping fuel was caused by the needle housing (the brass piece) either loosened or I didn’t tighten it enough after the cleaning. Engine started on 2nd pull on choke, moved choke to run. Made little adjustments on low and high speed needles. Both needles are responsive now. Ran the edger...

    Napa no longer stocks at least via online, I have a kit, the manifold gaskets, and air filter on the way through another source. I am going to pull the Welch plugs, soak the body briefly in white vinegar and have it ready when the parts arrive.

    Will do. I was hoping someone had done a float carb retrofit. I am going to clean the diaphragm carb before I go down that road.

    it is in the Tecumseh section a carburetor replacement question for a H30 2.5 hp edger. Is there a direct replacement carb for it other that the OEM diaphragm carb that is a cleaner better running carb?

    Carburetor on Craftsman / Tec 2.5 hp H30

    I try to pretty much run old school 100% gasoline in it. Being a diaphragm carb is the drill to pull the diaphragm off the carb, pull the low speed and high speed adj screw and use like 10 psi compressed air? I don’t have the carb or parts breakdown in front of me. Still at work… Thanks
