I have a Coleman Powermate with one of the last flathead B&S 10hp engines...Has a nonadjustable carb... I want to find a rebuildable earlier carb that has an adjustable idle jet and install on my generator for better performance.. Trying to eliminate a random pop..Have been through all the usual suspects... Does anyone have an idea of where and a model # I can be looking? Thanx. VROOOOM!!!

Is that random pop from a carb issue or a spark misfire or something else.

Adjustable carbs will be marked LMT 102, 113, 114, 116, and 141.

Random carb backfire can be caused by intake manifold air leak. I had one engine that would what I called a random sneeze that this was the cause. Replaced the gaskets and the problem was solved.

Also check your valve clearances.
