Re: Help Please on Lightwin Carb issue?

[CHUCK]

I can see no discernible play at the throttle shaft. At one point I dabbed heavy grease around the crankcase joint…no change. The nozzle (boss) gasket is new; the genuine OMC version that comes in the kit 439071.

It did run the same way with the original bowl; I was sooooo sure that replacing the lower half would solve the problem.

I did swap the entire carb with another one…and that made a huge difference…..so I feel that the issue is definitely in the carb somewhere.

PS: It also starts hard. Sometimes requires the choke even when warm; other times it seems essentially flooded.
