Hi, Long time lurker, first time post. Thanks to all of you who have helped in the past and not known it.
I have a B414 petrol (Zenith VN carb) with poor idle, skipping and running very rich. Gas in the oil. I used a basic rebuild kit, but the carb still seems to be dumping gas into the system. I think it has to do with the accelerator pump/piston on the carb and the kit didn't seem to have a part to re-seat that or the retainer for that gasket which is worn and no longer seats properly. I am giving serious thought to buying either a professional rebuilt carb (275$) or the new OEM replacement carb from this site (Carburetor - DOWNDRAFT Part Number 1429N on this site (IHS377 on others), 500$) which sure seems a lot simpler design than the original zenith. Has anyone tried a direct replacement with this new carb and if it works better than the original zenith design I might go that way? The original fuel system has a metal fuel line from the lift pump ending with a banjo fitting to the existing Zenith. This new carb just has a 5/16 barb and in a different location. Can I just clip the banjo fitting end off the metal line and attach 2 or 3" of rubber fuel line from the end of the existing metal line to make it to the 5/16 hose barb on the carb. The fuel inlet on the new carb is just re positioned farther away enough that I don't think the existing line will reach it. Will there be a size mismatch there trying to go from a metal fuel line to a 5/16 hose?
Any experience in this would be appreciated. I'm not a mechanic but just need to get this thing running well again. and while it costs more the new carb style sure looks like it is a lot simpler (less to go wrong). THanks

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
