[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 488741, member: 412"] $25 give-or-take for new carbs on small engines, I'm not cleaning jack or shit. Full carb replacement vs. a gasket kit, the carb costs $10-$15 more than the gaskets, and takes about 1/4 the amount of time to swap vs. a carb re-build (gaskets, needle/seat, and potential varnish removal). Pull off a couple springs and the throttle cable, remove 2-3 mounting bolts, GENTLY use a utility knife blade (I just use the blade w/no handle) to lift off any old gasket material from the block. Couple dabs of blue ookumpucky on both sides of the new gasket, bolt on the new carb, re-attach springs, throttle, and gas line. It takes about 2x longer to do than it does to type. Put a new carb on the snowblower last Dec. When I was sure it was the right one, I bought 2 more. Splurged and got a new spark plug, primer bulb, and new section of gas-line as well. Shittin' in tall cotton w/soft wipes for quite a while now. [/QUOTE]
