Chinees Carburetor

   I have a 20 year old mower with a 22 HP Briggs V-Twin engine ( over head valve)... It started having an idle problem a couple years ago.. Ran ok, but dies if you idle it down.. Read on YOU TUBE and the double barrel carb sets between the V and two bolts on the OUTSIDE on each side of the carb... That causes the carb or manifold to WARP about 1/16 of an inch and leak at between the carb and manifold faces.... Took mine apart 6 months ago and YEP... thats what i had.. Took the carb apart and it definitely needed a "rebuild" in addition to file the manifold flat.... Looked on AMAZON and the "KIT" was about $15. and an ENTIRE NEW CARB was about $20.... so i did that.... Now it works GREAT... just thought i would pass along the info on V-twin engines with the double barrel carb... and Chineese FIX for it ( plus manifold facing)...

	I used to do "shade Tree" work for the neighbors and friends and even some people that I did not care for but that's what you get for wanting to help people,,,,,lol. I'd fix their lawn mowers chain saws, motorcycles anything with an engine. I quickly found out ,,,,you can try to overhaul any carburator,,,and most likely you got to open it up 2-3 times and maybe it be ok,,,and maybe not,,,!! I started out with Ebay but their delivery was kinda slow,,,but when amazon hit the market,,,,"Git out the way" you could order a new carb that closely resembled what you needed,,wait a couple of days,,,install and fire it up and call it GOOD,,!! I think I only had to send one carb back and they replaced it with NO questions. and I made some good dollars and didn't even get my hands dirty most times. It just ain't worth it to try to overhaul them when they are available sometimes at less money than a repair kit,,,!!
