My Homelite 550 don’t fire with a drink. Should this spring be further towards the outside world and does it matter that the rubber is a little deformed as shown? Any other tips? Previous owner said he tried getting it running and gave up when it seized up on him, now it turns over freely/perfectly with what feels like good/enough compression. Perhaps the carb was just letting a ton of gas in?
