It's on, and there is no doubt it is a different carb. Quite similar, but different none the less.

I have to go to Sears in the morning to get a flexible shaft screwdriver that is able to get to the idle mix screw. On the counterfeit, it was on the base on the driver side- easy as pie to get to. Now it's on the RR corner of the carb in an impossible place to get a standard screwdriver in there to adjust. IM-FUCK-ING-possible to get at. I just need a screwdriver with flexible shaft...

One thing I also learned is that the cheapo model that I had was only around 300CFM and the new one is about 385CFM.

There is no doubt it is a high quality piece- much better than the one I took off, that's for sure.

Now it just needs to be tweaked.

I may feddle with the throttle cable hook up to make myself happy in the near future, but not until it cools down a bit. It was 95 today and I despise working on anything when it is that hot.

I put in 150 primary/140 secondary for the main jetting. That may be a tad rich but still smaller than the ones I had at my disposal in the re-jet kit.

What I also need is a flexible socket extension to get at those pesky mounting nuts. Or figure out a better way to mount the thing with cap screws or something.

Regardless, it's on.

The old air cleaner off the counterfeit won't work either, so I need to call Pierce in the morning to get one of those too.
