Or get a rebuild kit and learn how to rebuild it.
You'll never learn how things work if you just do the remove and replace way.

I absolutely agree. I am running into a time issue though. The classic time vs money. Plus we don't want to put too much $ into this truck as we bought it to work, not play.

As it turns out, taking the top off and cleaning it a bit plus adjusting the choke seems to maybe have taken care of the problem. We will see once I get it really up to temp. Thanks for all the advice. I suspect either some of the linkage was so filthy that it was holding things open or there was dirt in where the pins are. The floats both floated. Perhaps we can squeeze some more life out of this thing.
