I think it costs them more in bad will than the few dollars they saved.

Next thing you know they will be 3D printed. I'm glad I have saved every carb good or bad. May be worth a fortune for the great grandkids someday.

Nah, they won't even know what a carburetor if for. Everything will be battery powered.

Well I took the plastic carb off cleaned it really good. I put it back on and the blower started up after about 20 primes and ran. I shut it off and let it sit ,sure enough the bottom of the carb got wet with gas. I am going to wait and see how the carb works I ordered from eBay.

If you prime the carb with more than 4 pumps of the primer, you will get gas leaking from the carb, that is normal.

Are you sure the bottom of the carb is not wet from over priming?

I primed it twice and it wouldn't start so I primed it two more times still nothing so I pushed the primer a bunch more and it started. The gas first started leaking after it was off for awhile. I would have thought four primes would have done it but wouldn't start.

I ran across that problem try changing the spark plug cleared up my starting problem.

Why do you want to replace the Briggs plastic carb? I have found that they clean up easily. Much easier then aluminum carbs. Just be careful to not lose any brass inserts when using compressed air.

Do you remember what brand of plug you used. I think there is a champion in there now

I do not remember the brand. It did say for Honda engine, checked the length of threads, were the same and the electrode.

Hello All
I am looking to purchase an aftermarket carb for an old toro 3650 I picked up. eBay offers a bunch of cheap ones is one any better than the rest? OEM carbs are over a hundred and I don't know if the machine is worth the expense

Well I put my new Chinese carb on and it fired up after about 5 primes, I didn't think that was too bad figuring the air had to get out.

The problem that I noticed even before the carb replacement was that the engine seems to be running at very high RPM's. I read how to adjust it but I don't have a tach to see where I am at

Any suggestions?

Tach/hour meters are cheap and easy to install.

I bought a tach and adjusted the RPM'S seems to be running better.

The governor adjustment tab was bent out quite far but in most pictures it seems to be almost straight.
