    DIY carb rebuild is possible ~ my member page has a carb rebuild photo album

    RUST KUTTER is #1 on many YouTube videos

    IDEA: drain the gas tank 'n use the gas in yard machines ~ fill tank with Non-Ethanol gas then if too expensive use Fuel Stabilizer & regular 87 octane gas

    Safe bet is that every rubber part in the fuel system NEEDS replacement including all the carburator & fuel pump Diaphrams

    Might try NGK double platinum spark plugs (NOT iridium)

    If the cylinder head & gasket are good & good valve stem seals & if the compression tests sat THEN your little truck with it's low powered engine should last a good long long time

    Thanks for your response. I did look through your albums, great work by the way. That will be an excellent resource although I may need to bug you in the future with additional questions.


    Here is a good newbie question...how do I determine what OEM hardware is on the truck? I have attempted to decode the VIN but that hasn't worked. Any help would be much appreciated!
