I reread the thread and I misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry. We're here to help, just that at times the original poster doesn't know who to listen to. Just like we can't see your unit, you can't see who we are. I'll say it again, you problem is fuel related, and replacing the carb should solve the problem. Don't worry about Mr. Fish, he is just an Asian Crap who has jumped out of the water a few to many times and hit his head on the gunnel more than once. Most people learn who to listen to. Good luck and let us know how it works out.
