Well he sorta right but it is the rubber check valves that gets damaged. Here I only clean them with soap and water in an USC. Even then I had a few times a non replaceable welch plug to come out.

Personally in my shop I had no luck with the after market carburetors.

The ones that come from a real mower shop are generally good because the shops have to warrant them
Carbs bought from the web warriors are pot luck
