FYI, the cut off is rapid, usually slightly after coming off the ramp for the carb. I don’t see a mark on the ramp to time to. This one has had a mouse living in it and wasting in it so the corrosion was pretty hefty. I do see the throttle handle indicator doesn’t match up with the running positions on the advance. I don’t typically look at that figuring it was just installed off kilter. This is a sliding rod affair so maybe I am that far out of time. There is also a blue (lawnmower) type fuel hose on there. I do see a lot of air bubbles in there while running. When it gets down to the stall point I try to squeeze the bulb to see if it is starving, it’s death comes a little too quickly. There still seems to be a fair amount of fuel in the bowl when I pull the drain screw. I did clean out the idle jets to what I thought was very functional. I could get a nice mist in the venturi when spraying carb cleaner tight into the idle screw jet base. Normally I don’t have a clear fuel hose and couldn’t see the flow, so I didn’t know if air in that line would be normal. I can pump the line up to firm pressure without any leaks. Thanks,
