Yes, there is a thick gasket (new) between the carb and the cylinder head attached with two screws which are very difficult to access. I'll double check to make sure they are as tight as possible.
The old carb had a broken suction tube and I foolishly threw it away - that's why I can't put it back on. Tell me more about the air leak - where, between fuel tank and carb or carb and cylinder?
I thought that the replacement carb was bad too, so I had the company ship me another one - so this is actually a 2nd new carb that's on it. Unfortunately I threw away the old one. Chances of it being two bad carbs are very small. The surging diminishes a little under load. Still drives me...
All the reading I've done indicates that surging is a sign of fuel starvation, but when I spray the choke cleaner into the carb it doesn't smooth out, it stalls out.
Hi there, new member here. Need some help -
I've got an MTD Tiller/cultivator with a Briggs and Stratton engine
Model 137202
Type 1134E1
Code 990421YA
I bought it as a non-runner. It had a gummed up tank and carb - it sat in the garage for years without use. I took it all apart, replaced...
