Agreed about kits from “ The Zon”. I don’t think its their fault that those rebuild kits are sub standard, but I only use them in a rush. The last one I used, swelled the bowl gasket so bad I could not reuse it after being on the bowl for 1/2 hour. Will stick to OEM from now on.
Well, thanks for admitting me to the group. I’ve been fooling with small engines for over 50 years and still get stumped on a lot of stuff. These forums are a great place to exchange tips and learn from the group's experience. I will enjoy being a member!
