Hey Ken, Sorry to hear of your family's health challenges... you'll be in our prayers. Although hearing aids can be problematic and are expensive, they're essential. My dad started suffering hearing loss about 20 years ago... bought a hearing aid and refused to wear it. A few years later, Ma talked him into buying a better one and he refused to wear that one. Now, he's all but deaf and is suffering alzheimers/dementia. We've talked to doctors (and rely on our personal experience) and have come to the realization that dad's not being able to hear has accelerated his condition. Specifically, not being able to hear, dad was less and less inclined to try to take part in conversations. He'd just sit in his chair and stare at the tv (although he couldn't hear it). With his lack of hearing, he has basically isolated himself into his own little world and is no longer in touch with reality. Most days, he doesn't even recognize me... sometimes doesn't recognize ma. Sorry for the long dissertation, but I can't stress enough, the importance of keeping everyone in the family healthy. Hope someone else doesn't have to experience the things we've gone through the last couple years. Sorry I can't recommend a specific brand of hearing aid, but it's extremely important that you find one! All the best... HTH! ...D

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
