    Yesterday was warmer, around 50 F, so I installed the reeds and carbs. By the time I was done hooking everything up it was pretty dark. I haven't tested the oil injection yet, so to be safe I plugged in a tank of mixed. Engine started right up and was very smokey. Will running mixed fuel along...

    The plate and reeds are off the motor, not replacing. The barb is straight through. The only one that is one way is at the bottom of the plate.

    While beating on my reed adapter plate to dislodge the gasket from the engine, I accidentally hit one of the tiny hose barbs on the side and broke it off. I'm not sure if those were a press fit or what but need to know if anyone has ever replaced one. Also need to find a suitable replacement barb.
