Merk, That was a great and very helpful write up. Much better than all of the arguing and so on that a few others got into. I thought the point of this forum is to help each other out not fight over who is correct. Anyways here is my experience with a carb issue I had on my 100. From time to time it would not run right with out choking it. I started by soaking the carb in carb cleaner and rebuilding it and also cleaning the fuel tank and sediment bowl. It ran for a short time and went back to acting up again. Again removed the carb cleaned and inspected, did not find any dirt etc so I put it back to together and still same issue. I got fed up and swapped the carb from my 127 and it ran fine. I ended up buying a replacement carb on evilbay and it has ran fine every since. This was cheaper than buying a new throttle shaft and bushings, a float and carb kit to try to repair the old carb. To Flood, check out your throttle shaft for play then decide what course of action to take. Good luck.
Tom
