Default Re: I picked up a TB22EC for $5 at a yardsale

Update: Mentor tried all methods you suggested along with what he knows (he restores BMW motorcycles and is by no means a dummy with internal combustion engines) but finally had no option left but to install that $19.79 new carb. Done! She runs! Phooey. I was hoping to milk the O ring thing but never resorting to a carb replacement. But sometimes you have to spend a few bucks to get her going.

I picked up a $5 Toro electric blower that I lent to my neighbors along with my 100' cord. They love it so much, they're happily storiing it for me. They want me to find them another. Maybe not. I reallyy want a 2 cycle blower that doesn't work; when worked as a landscaper, I loved the freedom of a backpack. So now I'm working on that also. Not sure what I'll find first but I'm done using my monster wet dry vac to blow.
