So my biggest issue is the spring that goes into the power piston. I got a master rebuild kit that came with the float and the guy (very reputable) gave me a spring for the power piston. When I went to tear the carb down and remove the secondaries. The existing spring was a different height compared to the one that the guy gave me. The original spring is more contracted and the new one is more spread out. I looked at several images on google and it appears there are more than 1 spring used. Should I use the original or go with the taller one. The one that he gave me does not lock into the piston as the original one does. I also had a question about the "epoxy" trick concerning the leaking of the secondaries. The carb is pretty dirty, but I don't know if I should start modifying it with a new spring or an epoxy job. The carb number is 1708-0561 and the metal tag says 1347-9662. Is there a really good manual that pertains to just this carb out there?
