Guys,
I soaked my carb over night in Dawn dish washing liquid and could not believe the stuff that came out of it even though I had previously soaked it in parts dip cleaner. My line from the tank was disintegrating on the inside. I pulled the fenders, the tank and all the lines. I am cleaning everything installing new lines and fittings. The local Cub dealer let me use his sonic tank to clean my carb but my plan now is to order a new one. While the tractor is torn apart Im servicing everything and plan a quick repaint to cover some bad spots. This is going to set me back several hundred but its cheaper than buying a new mower and Im kinda fond of this one.
