    Dave,

    Thank you.  I do love the simplicity of this engine.  Finding videos of JW-10s running after rebuilds, shows me just how smooth they can run.

    I have rebuilt the carb twice with the original parts as I wait for the carb kit.  Removed most gunk. She is now running pretty good but, it could be better.  The tank was flush out many times and I still got old gas particles in the latest flush.  Soaking the tank with denatured alcohol now.

    The original pull cord was frayed when I got it, of course it only got worse and I needed to replace it.  The rubber handle on the tiller is cracked in multiple spots.  I am guessing replacements for this is no longer available.  Any trick in regluing the cracked areas to save the rubber handle?

    Best regards,

    Mike
