its leaking from the hole that the air filter is supose to be attached, bypass the choke

oohh shoott, when i took the carb off i noticed that the throtle was mixed up and i was closing it instead of opening it

 

[freakboy]

lol that may do it?

 

[briggy]

got it running but won't rev up..

 

[newrider3]

Running rich and bogging out maybe? Make sure the choke is open?

i think i'm screwed, there no screw in it

 

[freakboy]

take pictures cause i never delt with a updraft carb.. i know they leak like crazy tho...

 

[briggy]

the hihg speed needle valve is missing can i replace it with something else?????

 

[modelengineer]

a replacement high speed needle would probably work

Can't think of anything else you could use. It's a pretty critical part, and must be accurate in order to get proper air-fuel ratio's

Its a $5 part, you could buy a rebuilt kit and rebuild the carb for under $20.
