Thanks Rivets, I have some Tecumseh and Walbro parts. Some of the parts look a lot alike. My wife has a long fat needle that I put seats in with to start them,
then I use the bottom part of a drill bit to set them in good. I have rebuilt the carbs on the church's and my snowblower before. I just didn't know why it wasn't getting good gas flow. Something must be plugged up somewhere. I'm having the same problem with a 1980 lawn boy with a plastic carburetor. It ran fine
before I cleaned it. Now I have to keep on pushing the primer to keep it running. I soaked it in a gallon can of carb and parts cleaner and sprayed all the little holes out with carb cleaner and blew everything out with with air. I used a new gasket also so it shouldn't be sucking any air. Kind of weird. OK, back to the work shop. Thanks again.
