I have been watching some videos on how to do this yourself. Can any machine shop do the jugs also where to go and get a rebuilt crank?

I had seen where old gas would create a rubbery type material. I was wondering if it was some additive. I could pull it out of the gas tank with a flexible claw.

A couple of years ago I had the same thing happen at high speed. I would be crusing along and get a slight stall like i felt when my thumb would tire holding the throttle. I went through the fuel system replacing hoses and cleaning the carbs. That fixed the problem. The slight cut out will make...

Take some pics of the engine compartment. Maybe we can see something.

They have some brass tubes that protrude into the carb opening. They will gum up and require some carb spray and compressed air. You might be able to reach the hoses with out removing too much. If it's like mine you detach the hose from acc pump and squirt carb clearner to get the pto side and...

With screw driver in the slot, give the drive a tap to loosen the corrosion.

I have a set of screw drivers that were in the electrical dept of Lowe’s or Home Depot that have that special tip.

I haven't heard much about racing here in texas in a while. What is the group associated with it now?
