Re: Carb leak at choke location

good deal,i figured your tank was full of crap.when i do carbs here,i dismantle them entirely,soak them in carb cleaner for a day or 2,rinse the pieces off with boiling water then blow it all out with compressed air and then it goes back together.if you're going to dismantle the carb completely,be careful,take your time and pay attention to the little parts and where they came from.you can buy carb cleaner at any parts store in a spray can.clean all the parts with the spray carb cleaner,you can use brake cleaner after that,there's a 100 ways to do it.if you were worried about getting it all apart,chances are,all your problem is in the float chamber.the dirt will collect there and on the needle and seats.you could cheat and just pull the top off and clean it out.nothing to it?
good luck.Greg
