    Default Runs much gooder.

    Finally had time to rebuild the carb in my M725. Kept flooding during parades and on my last trip home it kept spitting and sputtering up the hill. Ordered the carb rebuild kit included top rubber ring for filter housing and the base to intake manifold gasket off ebay a month ago. Took it off yesterday went to NAPA and got a couple cans of carb cleaner, then went to the liquor store and got me some carb cleaner, tore it apart and found that most of the o-rings were flat rings and heavy coating of carbon top to bottom. It was real easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble. When I put it back on, gas was shooting out the venturi tube, so I took it back apart adjusted the float and now it runs like new.

    Good to hear. How are you running after using your carb cleaner?

    Always nice to get everything running well again!

    Oh, and its "much more gooder." Its important that the grammar is correct.
