thats pretty cool ive never seen anything like that! does it work/run?
It doesn't run right now, but working on it. Was trying to see if I could get it running tonight using a gallon jug for fuel, but couldn't get it to suck fuel into carb. If I spray fuel into spark plug hole, it will fire once

This is a pretty simple carb. But it's just like anything else, seems scary until you do it. I've had several ATVs with carbs that I have messed with.

I did get it to run for a few seconds last night. Sprayed fuel directly into the carb inlet, just took a lot more than I was spraying in initially.
 
I haven't seen one of those in years. Yeah small engine carbs aren't too hard, if the parts are available. I do suggest though, punch the carb number in google. I bought a knock off carb for a Yamaha motorcycle, for less than a Yamaha carb kit.
 
Didn't do it yet... But driving to the Corning museum of glass and blowing some glass tomorrow!
 
Drive to other side of the state for a waterfowl hunting trip for military and vets. Our groups got skunked the first day, but day two made up for it. Truck for **** gas mileage because there was a cross/headwind both directions. So got around 13mpg. Had a blast though. The family that hosts this hunt are awesome. Lodging and food/drinks all provided. Guides and pit blinds all donated for the hunt. First pic was sunrise on day one. Second pic was the final results of day two. We didn't switch to a different location for day two 57d196cc-4243-4f44-8096-5b8f7bde7ead.jpgIMG_20250117_182635.jpg
 
I have a Sharp 90 inch one above my fireplace in the living room. It is 10 years old and I may replace that one with a 98 incher too. The one I just bought is a Chinese TCL from Costco - couldn't pass up the deal for the cigar room - only $1,449 with a 5 year warranty. When I replace the living room TV I will probably go with a Samsung one, but at twice the cost
