    27HP Command Pro running issues

    Yeah I found the correct car in Amazon and it will be at my house the next day for about $35 bucks. But I was trying to save the oem carb. I'm just tired of messing with it and it still doesn't run right. So I'll just order a new aftermarket one and see what it does.
