Its an American made engine, but they put out a modification of carb, at $25 ....
I even see Chinese carbs for $38................... might be the answer, but as it ran good..... why can't it do it again.
I cleaned out module , blew air all over and it just started ,won't rev and spits fuel out out carb.......
As for catchers... I mowed lawns for 7 yeas using them, now I don't use them, just blow the clipping out the back, healthy for the lawn.... and my back...........
cheers
speedy
