Scalped the lawn and verge on thursday (about 50 catchers worth total as corner block). 3 full tanks through a 99 Pace Powertorque. Sat in shed for a good year and half.

Has carbymaster primer cap, needle and lever. The cap and needle were in there when I bought the mower from the tip - the guy threw $50 worth of parts on it but got a sticking needle. Was running a plastic needle since until now.

I understand what max means about opening the lever hole a tad.

Started 1st pull, first tank fine, second tank the needle stuck open, flooded everything. 3rd tank fine.

So next job is to make the tool and sand/polish up the seat
