Prior to beginning this project, I'd found a video on youtube about replacing the O ring; we tried that 1st. Yes! 69¢ part, new gas and she started right up. So now I have this carb that fits other weed eaters. What to do? Pay a restocking fee? Nah. Found a larger TB with "no start" issues on CL. $15? Nope. $10 was my limit. Carb was replaced 3 months or so ago; she won't start. Before I sacrifice my $20 part to an experiment (yes, it fits), we'll try the O ring replacement, shot of carb cleaner and new gas. I've found my new love--2 cycle engines!
