well thanks to you people I FIXED IT!!!! I listened and bought a walbro knock off, (hey it's retirement time ok?) cranked right up, no smoke no hesitation no coughing runs really good, it's a 2013, 12 /2013 to be exact, already hauled a trailer load of top soils with it. Thanks to all who responded, you really enlightened me to these carbs and the issues they can have. Thanks so much. when my little baby went WOT without missing a beat, I really am thankful for the help here, Thank you all again..............Red
