I have 2 problems with the motor.<br />1. I just rebuilt the carb and it purrs like a kitten. The problem is it is not drawing gas. I have to pump the pressure button on the tank to keep it running. The air filter? or what normally goes on the intake side of the carb is missing. where can I get the missing parts?<br />2. It will not stay in gear at any speed. I haven't checked on condition of the gears but I suspect I will have to replace the worn parts. Is there any kind of adjustment?
