Hi all, alright so here is what I did:
1. Started a germination test.I put three damp paper towels on a plate, then some seeds (didn't count, just want to see if they do something) wet them, and the put four damp paper towels on top of them and have them kind of close to the wood stove so they get some warmth.
2. Went outside to fill the wood and came back in to find 3 razzed up cats and my seeds all over he!!s creation.... Cleaned up the mess, and repeated the above process. NOTE, plate is now "cat proof" Been keeping them moist with a mister gun all day.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
