No mixture screws, just one capped hi-speed screw. Soaked it in denatured alcohol to see if it will help, worked for my Manco carb.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't 100% sure how they worked, that helps. Looking at a friend's Echo weed whacker now. Carb on it is trash. Installed a factory rebuild kit but it only runs if I...

I don't think that carb had a diaphragm. Has the typical needle & seat, float and jets but the petcock is actually the fuel pump I guess you could call it. There is a huge spring under the top of the...

I took the hose off the vacuum port on the intake and cut a 1/4" off or so to make it fit on the nipple tighter. It seemed better but I ended up buying a Taiwan carburetor from GoPowerSports and...

Yes, that's exactly how it works. There is a wax pack in the connector above the pintle. As the wax is heated it pushes the pintle into the enrichment port closing off the excess fuel needed for cold...

Update on the bystarter or electric choke. Set up the choke with a 12V power supply and watched to see if the pintle would extend. After about 3 minutes the pintle extended as it should have. Looks...

Upon further review, I don't think my kart has a bystarter resistor. Went through the factory manuals, didn't see one for mine. The bystarter is powered by a "run/hot" circuit from the stator. Gonna...

Yes, every jet was removed. Ran a bread tie wire through each jet hole, made sure I could see light through every jet. I think I'll pick up a voltmeter and test the resistor. I need one anyway. More...

The key for the magneto wasn't sheared but the key for the starter clutch was. The nut came loose somehow and the clutch just spun on the crankshaft when trying to start the kart. Used a puller to...
