    No I have had motor for 2years it always ran good but did not idle very well so I decided to rebuild carb to see if that would help and yes that did help ladles pretty good still using old pressure tank cleaned very good added inline filter , high speed meddle is fully seated threads and needle very good condition, no bowl was not dropped float set correctly new float needle I bought factory rebuild kit so I am sure it’s good you know if I run at 16/1 will that not make it run even more rich from what I read on line everyone says to run 24/1 that’s what the factory recommended when it was new and oil today is much much better. Anything else you can think of.
