I was going to post this down below in response to Rauville's mom but a separate post would probably be appropriate. Here's a good example of how the generations differ. Now, don't get me wrong, there are a ton of kids out there that wouldn't think of what you're gonna read below but many would. And of course, many of us are responsible because we seem to spoil the current generation so bad. I was at work today at the gas station and the lady at the till took a phone call from her son (12th grade). He was late for school because he locked his car keys (actually, the family 2nd car) in the house and he couldn't get in to get his car keys to drive about 6 blocks to school. The till lady got one of the new employees (been on the job 3 shifts) to drive her house keys over to her stranded son so he could get his car keys to drive to school. The service station is TWO BLOCKS from her home and the lazy little #*&$^#@ couldn't walk that far, but this new employee jumped in his own car to deliver the house keys. Couldn't believe it was happening, almost like a bad dream. Then we wonder why things have gone so bad? It's our own darned fault in my opinion. Why are we babying the current generation of kids so much? For some reason, we can't ee the forest for the trees. Now that I've vented, my prayers are with Rauville and his family, she must've been a wonderful lady.

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
