There’s no doubt the G4/LM is superior. I’m not stuck on using the G3 but I’d like to try to even though it’s the less logical path. There’s some links with the past for me with these mowers and I’d like to retain as much of that experience as I can without making a rod for my own back.
I’m hoping that I have enough G3 bits to make two working carbs. I have three complete carbs and some spare bits in boxes that I will need to unearth. I can make gaskets and fabricate some parts. I did think new bits were going to be thin on the ground.
It’s been a while since I had to do anything major with a G3 so I’ll have to refresh my memory of where they go wrong.
