Thanks, guys. As you have probably figured out - I am NOT a farmer, just a small town boy, moved to the country, (disabled), and trying to make the best use of the time that remains. ALL of the replies have made sense - and I thank you for that. Also, I've heard MOST of these replies & reasons before - and they ALL also make sense. So I'm kinda "between a rock and a hard place" with the decision about which to use. As I see it now, there are really only TWO reasons (for me) NOT to use plastic. 1.) It's made of petroleum - a VERY valid consideration, and 2.) many farmers hate plastic because it "doesn't go away".... I asked a farmer who mentioned that: "Well, what about sisal? It doesn't go away either." - and he said something like this: "The cows eat it anyway & it doesn't seem to hurt them."..... Oh well, how can I argue with THAT logic?!! So I guess what I should do is get some experience "under my belt"... I think I'll continue with the sisal & see how that does. I'll probably also ask some buyers if they would prefer sisal or plastic. After that I should have a better idea of which way to go. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE INPUT. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH !!!

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
