    UPDATE: over the weekend, I disassembled the carb and replaced the needle and seat. Bingo! This motor now runs as strong as any 18hp I have run. Idles super slow too.

    Lesson learned: it’s not worth trying to save a few bucks by using old, existing parts. I won’t be making that mistake again.

    Thanks for the advice on this one. I really appreciate all the tips!
