This statement is total B.S.
Also, If equipment were properly maintained carb probs would never be an issue.
I read somewhere these carbs have some unusually small passages that can get clogged up and a rebuild doesn't always work because of that (truth? no clue).
So when I put the new carb on, i also replaced the fuel line and added a fuel filter to it, why the heck didn't it come with one? Karts aren't run in the cleanest of places or conditions, it probably would have cost them a buck to add one on when they built the thing ...cost me $4 for a little added protection
Just thought I'd let people know that I fixed my priming issue by dropping the float bowl and needle assembly and spraying all of the little jets out really well with brake cleaner, didn't even have to disconnect any fuel lines or the carb. It was the little jet at the top of the brass bolt that was clogged on mine. It was on a brand new carb too. My problem now is a little bit of a rough idle that i have to take care of

No more unusual or any different than any other carburetor.
Tecumseh carbs are a proven Walbro design and goes back to the '50's.
If gas is not completely drained from carb and is allowed to sit for weeks, months, or years (I've seen decades)...expect some serious shirt to happen.
I can say For Sure the fuel in it was NOT good when i bought it. I asked the 82 year old grandfather who sold it to me about how long the gas had been in it and told him about the trouble with ethanol these days. He said it was just a year old and treated with the best... "a marine stabilizer". First thing i did when i got it home was drain out all the gas into a pan. A few hours later (i wish i took a picture of it) the water and crud separated out of the gas and sank to the bottom. It looked BAD!! and there was a Lot of it too! Either the stabilizer didn't do Jack, or it had been many years.
We can't get gas without ethanol around here, so this year i bought some 2cycle TrueFuel at home depot, put a bit in the snow blower and chainsaws, ran them for a minute, and tucked them away. That stuff is stabilized for two years and no ethanol. I hope it works better than whatever the old man did!!

That's your opinion and you are welcome to it....but it sure as he77 doesn't match my experience......
The first time I heard about Tecumseh carbs being unrebuildable was before I joined this forum. ....from a professional small engine mechanic.....
Since joining this forum. ....there have been multiple members that have been unsuccessful in rebuilding these carbs... (myself included).....but I have rebuilt many, many Briggs carbs and never had one that I couldn't get going. ... (usually without even buying parts)......
And then I came across the information on YouTube. ...where the guy talks about them neededing to rattle......
And you can preach all friggin' day long about proper maintenance and crap.....but the OP was in the same shape as just about everyone who had trouble with these carbs. ....we bought them that way. .....

Not preaching. Let's just call it lack of experience.
I have yet to run into any carb that cannot be repaired (unless structurally broken).
Perhaps I was just lucky to have not run into anything as bad as you or anyone else has witnessed in the last 50+ years. I find this unlikely.
Like it...or don't like it...most carb problems are due to operator error as indicated in the above posts. Sometimes, Mr. Poboy kartman, the truth hurts.
