I apologize for how my computer rotates the pictures when I post them. It definitely confuses things...
As far as rebuilding the carb I am all for that, and definitely agree its a good opportunity to learn, but here is my situation. I currently am employed 50+ hours a week Mon-Friday as an arborist and I am trying to get my own things rolling on the side. I have people waiting on me to get work done for them. I just bought this chipper and and dump truck in the past few weeks. I would like to be up and rolling by next weekend. I could spend a whole saturday rebuilding a carburetor or I could spend 250 on a new one, turn the two nuts to take the old one off and put the new one on and go to work all day Saturday. The carb would be paid for and then some...plus I'd be taking care of customers and likely picking up new ones.
