Wanted to give a final resolution. I got it running normally. I'm guessing that when I put on the new carb, the gas tank wasn't as well cleaned out as I thought it was, and a piece of rust or debris got into the new carb. As well as I found the cap on the fuel pump spring doesn't quite fit the...

I'm trying to attach a picture but apparently the file is too large and I don't know how to resize or reformat it. So I'll type out the numbers: Model: 092202 Type: 1242 E1 Code: 000426YA

There's no need for your attitude. Yes, I understand you want engine numbers. I am at work, and do not have the engine in front of me. I forgot to look at it yesterday when I was at home because I had other things going on. I appreciate the help thus far. If I have time today when I get home, I...

The main jet is the one that sticks down into the fuel bowl, correct? And not the one that screws into the side?

Will do when I get home. Thanks guys for all the assistance so far. My wife thinks I should stop wasting my time. But I'm not the kind of guy to let something like this beat me.

That may be worth the $5 gamble. I tried to pull the pickup off the communist carb to swap it, but it didn't seem to want to budge.

I appreciate the input. On the original carb, I broke the bottom half of the pickup off. I used a piece of vacuum line to act as a replacement. The new carb I didn't break obviously. It's just funny how the first time I put the new carb on, it ran like a champ, just like it always had. And then...

Thank you for your input, but the carb has been removed, cleaned, and even replaced. The engine ran normally on two occasions, and then does not run normally now. It only runs when partially choked. My theory is that its sucking air from a leak somewhere, but aside from the two gaskets...

Its a B&S 3.5 hp, on a McLane edger from the late 90's or early 2000's if I'm not mistaken. I posted in the original post the number on it is 091202. I may be a digit or two off, since the edger is at home and I'm posting from work, but I'll double check it.

The tank was a little rusty, but I don't think there's a hole in the well. When I've taken the carb off, it still has fuel in it. This doesn't explain why it won't run unless choked partially...

I'm hoping you guys can help me before I throw this thing in the scrap metal bin. I've got a McLane edger, with a B&S 3.5 on it. I think it is a 091202 or similar. Backstory is that like always, it sat unused for anywhere between 5-8 years. So I took the carb off, cleaned it out, and...
