The needle stuck in the seat one time after reassembly and would not let fuel in.I am getting fuel coming out of the carb into the air filter.I bought a ebay cheapie tune up kit and am going to install it tonight.If that dosent work at least I got a lot of new parts.lawnboys are almost a common place item in wisconsin.they are everywhere.I just got two f motor ones last nite a 10546 and a 521aes whatever that is.

I believe thats what the problem was it was flooding out.put a new needle and seat in and had to bend a reed back as it was sticking up a little.Put on new reed and carb gasket put in a new plug gapped at .035 primed three times and shazam it started first pull let it warm up for a few minutes and fine tuned to get that ya know lawnboy sound Saved another one.

Nice work.
I bought a cheap induction tach for less than 11.000 dollars from China and it works good on my lawn boys.

Very fast shipping about 2 weeks to have mine. I use a wooden clothespin to keep the wire in place.
