Re: cross your fingers
Yup that is the carb I have. I just installed it and will be adding some gas pretty soon. I have to go to the parts store and get a hose that I found was all messed up. It is the bigger hose that connects to the carb in the back. It was pretty bad. Anyone know what that hose does? Im kinda new at these things but I learn fast.

Re: cross your fingers
Ok everyone I need some help. I put the carbs back on and added some gas. I got it started but it keeps bogging out on me. When I give it gas it wants to die and sometimes it idles good and sometimes it doesn't. I'm getting back firing too when I give it gas. Also, when i give it gas it sounds like it's sucking a lot of air but I do not know much about carbs and all. I rebuilt the carb according to instructions and made proper adjustments with float and all. I backed out the air mixture screws 2 turns and then tried them at 1 and a half turn but nothing really changed. I am noticing some air leaking out of the front right bolt area where the carb bolts to the engine on the throttle side. I do not understand how air is leaking from there. Does anyone have any ideas? I also cleaned out all plugs. They were black. Any help is very appreciated. Here are some crappy pics. I had a little mishap with my cell phone and now the pictures look weird.
This is the where the air is leaking from the bolt.

Re: cross your fingers
I rebuilted my roch I couple of weeks ago. Maybe I can help a little. If your leaking air that is probly your problem with it running rough. Check you gasket at the intake make sure it is good and make sure it is the right one those autozone kits usally come with serval differnt gaskets. If thats not it check the bolt make sure all the threads are good and nothing is stripped

Re: cross your fingers
I will check that tomorrow and see what I come up with. I know the gasket is seated properly but I need to look at it and find out what is causing air to seep out of that bolt hole. I am sitting here looking at the diagram that came with the carb kit and just noticed that I did something wrong. The two little balls that come with the kit (one is smaller than the other)....well I put the larger one in the pump intake but the diagram shows that it should be the small one. I also did not notice I was supposed to put the larger ball in the pump discharge hole with the spring and retainer. I completely forgot to put that larger ball in there. I do not know what exactly they do but I will be fixing that tomorrow. Other than that, everything else is good. I just need to figure out this air coming out of that bolt hole.
